About the Little Kingdom
The show takes place in a magical place called the Little Kingdom. This secret world is hidden away among thorny brambles. It's a tiny land filled with amazing creatures and adventures.
Who Rules the Kingdom?
The Little Kingdom is ruled by King and Queen Thistle. They live in the Little Castle with their three daughters. Their oldest daughter is Holly, and they also have younger twin daughters named Daisy and Poppy.
Elves and Fairies
The Little Kingdom is home to two main groups: elves and fairies.
The Elves
Elves live in a special place called the Great Elf Tree. This tree is very important to them. It serves as their school and their library. It's also like a mission control center for their adventures. The Elf Tree is even an apartment building and a factory. They make toys and magic wands there. Elves believe it's very important to always be on time. They use wristwatches and clocks to tell the time. Elves also have a special saying: "...and I'm an Elf!" or "We're Elves!" The elves run the Elf Rescue service, the Elf Farm, and the Elf Windmill. Ben's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elf, are part of this community. The Wise Old Elf is another important elf character. He has three sons.
The Fairies
Civil fairies live in the Fairy Village. Their homes are made from toadstools. However, these toadstool homes don't have much food or comfort inside. Fairies use magic for many things. Most of the fairies are named after different flowers and plants. Fairies also have their own common saying, which is "I'm a fairy." Unlike elves, fairies tell time in very unusual ways. Nanny Plum is a key fairy character in the show.
Friends and Fun
Ben and Holly are the main characters of the show. They have a friendly ladybird named Gaston. King Thistle enjoys playing golf and crazy golf. He plays these games at the Royal Course. Nanny Plum and the Wise Old Elf have important jobs in the show. They often help Ben and Holly with their adventures.
