WILDERNESS FAIRIES
A tiny world of magic in the Australian bush.

Across the meandering river,
In a forest tall and green,
Live the magical Wilderness Fairies
And their wise Fairy Queen...

Daisy's sister, Maggie, has been invited by the Fairy Queen to perform in the annual Songbird Festival to compete for a 'momentous prize'. But the performance is only days away and Maggie is all a flutter about how she can possibly be ready in time. Daisy decides to help by writing Maggie a strict schedule and making sure she keeps to it. All goes well until Daisy's further good intentions lead to a wardrobe disaster for Maggie, saved only by their Aunt Acacia, a master seamstress. But then when an overzealous mother of a competitor threatens to sabotage Maggie's duet with Melody the Magpie, Daisy has the chance to save the day and redeem herself.
