It's Enid Blyton time again and it’s one of those books with a surprise at the end. This time, it’s about daffodils.

Meet Pinkle and Flip, two hard-working and industrious elves who make trumpets by night and sell them by day.

One day, however, their ambition carries them just too far.

How the elves connect to daffodils, well, that’s the surprise! :-)

Excerpt

It was the baby trumpeters blowing their trumpets.

The older fairies didn’t mind at first. They liked the babies to amuse themselves and have fun. They put up with the noise and laughed.
