Elf-Girl

Synopsis


In a children’s playground in a Lancashire village a baby girl is stolen from her pram by an elf who had a brief liaison with her mother. Not understanding that human children grow up very differently to elves, Pinkie Dianthus takes little Tiffany to Fairyland to look after him in his old age. But he soon realises his mistake when she won’t stop crying because she needs feeding and her nappy changing!

He hurriedly returns her to her mother only to be collared by trainee werewolf Thomas Chester, and his girlfriend Rosie. They hand him over to the police and a powerful young witch, Mary Conway, who makes him promise to leave Tiffany and her mother alone.

He doesn’t and tries to take his daughter twice more but each time the love of her friends draws Tiffany back to the human realm.  However, because time runs strangely in Fairyland, she returns much older than when she left.

When Tiffany is kidnapped for a third time, just after the Beltane celebrations at Mary Conway’s new home, she decides the time has come to sort things out with the elves once and for all.
