Story Overview: A Magical Adventure
This amazing story follows two main characters. One is Princess Eleanor, who lives in England. The other is a young fairy named Joyce.
Joyce's Home and the Unicorn
Joyce lives in a place called Swinley Forest. She is part of a community of other fairies. These fairies depend on a special unicorn that lives in their forest. The unicorn helps them survive.
One day, Joyce decides to follow the unicorn. It leads her to the very edge of the forest. That's where Princess Eleanor spots her.
The Princess and the Stolen Unicorn
The princess chases Joyce into the forest. There, she finds the unicorn! Princess Eleanor then takes the unicorn back to her home, Swinley Castle.
Joyce knows she must get the unicorn back. It is her responsibility to bring it home safely. So, she begins a brave journey to rescue the unicorn. Things get even more complicated when the Princess takes the unicorn with her to London.
Princess Eleanor's Secret Life
Meanwhile, Princess Eleanor's life is not as perfect as it seems. She rarely gets to see her parents. They are always busy with important royal duties. They are too busy to even tuck her into bed at night.
Also, her nanny, who used to be so kind, is secretly planning something tricky. The nanny is trying to get rich quickly behind the princess's back. This adds more challenges to Princess Eleanor's life.
