Suddenly, Wentworth, Roland, and the Nac Mac Feegles reappear unharmed. She turns the Queen into a little monkey-like creature and sends her back to Fairyland. The Queen taunts Tiffany for failing to save her friends, and a dream version of Tiffany’s grandmother comes down from the sky to defeat her, causing Tiffany to realize that she is strong enough to defeat the Queen. Tiffany escapes through an exit door that leads to the real world, carrying Roland with her. Roland is unconscious, and the Queen chases Tiffany in the shape of a storm. Only Tiffany and Roland remain Wentworth and the Feegles are presumed dead or captured. They are in the sea scene from the wrapper of Tiffany’s grandmother’s favorite brand of tobacco. The Queen attacks Tiffany, almost defeating her, but Roland releases the Feegles (which had been trapped in a large walnut), and they all escape with Wentworth.Īfter escaping more nightmares from the Queen, they enter a drome and find themselves in a dream of Tiffany’s making. The two join forces, making their way through several dreams before finding one where Wentworth and the Queen of the Fairies are. In a dream, Tiffany finds Roland, the son of a Baron who had famously disappeared the year before. If you eat food in one of the dreams, you can never leave. Then, they come across creatures called dromes, which create dream traps for people. They encounter a pack of wolves, which the Feegles easily defeat. Tiffany and the Feegles reach Fairyland using her newfound powers, as well as a trail of candy that Wentworth has left behind. As the Kelda, she should marry Rob Anybody, but she avoids this responsibility. She appoints Tiffany as the new Kelda, since she herself is dying. The Kelda explains that the Queen of the Fairies has captured Wentworth, and Tiffany must go into Fairyland to rescue him, taking the Nac Mac Feegles with her. They knew her grandmother, and as a result, they agree to take her to their leader, the Kelda.

She learns the Nac Mac Feegles’ names, Rob Anybody, Big Yan, and Daft Wullie. She realizes that they fear and respect her because they think she is a witch, and because she knows how to read and write. She then tries to get help from the Nac Mac Feegles. Tiffany tries to find Miss Tick but she is gone, along with the other teachers. The next morning, Tiffany is about to go find Miss Tick to ask her about what happened when her mother appears in a panic, asking where Wentworth is. They are very fast and agile, but they also seem scared of her. That night, she discovers the Nac Mac Feegles stealing her family’s sheep and eggs. She gives Tiffany her toad to act as a guide and disappears. She says she senses a big change coming, that two worlds are about to meet, and she thinks that Tiffany might be a witch, as was her grandmother. Miss Tick tells Tiffany that the little men were Nac Mac Feegles, rowdy creatures with Scottish accents.
