This novel follows two characters: Princess Eleanor of
England and a young
fairy named Joyce. Joyce lives in Swinley Forest with a community of other fairies who rely on the forest's
unicorn for survival. One day, Joyce follows the unicorn to the edge of the forest and is spotted by Princess Eleanor. The princess chases her inside and finds the unicorn, only to take it home with her to Swinley Castle. Knowing it is her responsibility to retrieve the unicorn, Joyce sets out on a journey to bring the unicorn home. Things get a little more complicated when the Princess takes the unicorn with her to
London. Meanwhile, the princess is not living a stable life. She rarely gets to see her parents, who are too busy with their affairs to tuck her in bed at night, and her once lovable
nanny is brewing a deceptive
get-rich-quick scheme behind the Eleanor's back. == References ==
