Description

Little Boy Blue lives on a happy farm with his mother and father, three cows, ten woolly sheep, a little white lamb, and a garden filled with flowers. He loves every creature and blossom, but his greatest treasure is a blue horn decorated with golden stars. Its gentle music sounds different to everyone who hears it—like bread and honey to him, grass and singing brooks to the sheep, and dancing in moonlight to the garden fairies.

One evening, as Little Boy Blue prepares for bed, a tiny purple pansy fairy secretly hides inside his horn. When the moon rises, she leads him into the meadow, where he plays for a wonderful gathering of fairies emerging from tulips, daisies, violets, roses, and water lilies. Under the moonlit sky, the fairy queen and her companions dance until the morning cock announces that it is time for everyone to sleep. This gentle fantasy invites young listeners into a charming world where flowers have secrets and bedtime can become an adventure.
