The Fairie Queen, the ruler of the Land of Nod is losing her powers as few mortal children believe in fairies and needs the help of one who is true of heart. She calls upon Jack, who falls asleep a lot and has just lost his parent's farm for them and doesn't have any livestock to sell for magic beans. But the Fairie Queen is desperate (she must be) and beckons Jack into the Land of Nod. With the help of a pirate and his motley crew, can Jack's mission succeed and save the Land of Nod, especially when some of his stout hearted crew aren't quite what they pretend to be? |

The princess has turned into a talking encyclopaedia and the Queen can barely speak. A doctor proposes a remedy - the Queen needs to laugh, but nobody seems to be able to make her so much as smile, least of all Gooseberry, the jester. Fairy Crackers sends Gooseberry on a mission - to bring back the world's funniest joke! But even if he finds it, will the Queen regain her sense of humour? |
