Synopsis:
A magical story about flights of the imagination that every child will relate to. One day Rosy said, "Today is moving day. I'm going to find myself a whole new house." So she packed up her blanked and her pillow, and her books and toys, and all her favourite things...and started looking. And before long she finds the perfect house in the hollow of a little tree. Rosy sets about making it neat and tidy, and, when everything is perfect, she looks through her spyglass far, far away to see if any visitors are coming. And there they are - Rosy's visitors; fairies and animals, children and pipers, all dancing along to come and have a splendid feast and party with her! Nostalgic, gentle illustrations create a charming, timeless summer feeling, making Rosy's humble tree home a true castle in the air!
