Fifi and the Swiftifoots and how they found the Flowers of Paradise — Linda Talbot

Fifi and the Swiftifoots and how they found the Flowers of Paradise tells of Fifi, a fairy who accidentally flies into the forest of the Swiftifoots - mushroom people whose homes have been flooded and whom she joins in a search for new homes and the fabulous flowers of immortality. En route, travelling back through time, they meet and are joined by a string of creatures- improbable but biologically based on fact. They narrowly miss a disastrous clash with Man, before finally finding the flowers and their exotic queen.
