Unfairies cover

Prepare to enter the world of the Unfairies! A hilarious new full-colour graphic novel series from breakout talent Huw Aaron, where the epic adventure of Amulet meets the super silly humour of Bunny VS Monkey and Dog Man . . . all on the scale of The Borrowers . . .

Some stories will tell you fairies are sweet, kind, magical creatures. Well, those stories are WRONG.

It’s time everyone knew the truth: fairies are sneaky, violent and about as magical as slugs.

Join our RECKLESS, FEARLESS and, well, CLUELESS, hero Pip on a breakneck adventure among the warring unfairy tribes of The Garden.

Expect sinister plots, dubious ancient prophecies, thrilling centipede chases, a bit of bug-bum honey . . . and a hero who doesn’t give two hoots about anything.

"I loved everything about this book. It's just SO funny' - Rob Biddulph, bestselling author of the Draw With Rob and Peanut Jones series

'You'll be wowed . . . Unfairies is enviably bonkers and I loved it.' - Sheena Dempsey, bestselling author of Pablo and Spash

Watch out for book two - Unfairies: Death By Toad - coming May 2026!

I loved everything about this book. It's just SO funny and it looks brilliant. Love the energy, love the palette, love the textures love the characterisation . . . Move over Tinkerbell, there's a new favourite fairy in town. * Rob Biddulph, bestselling author of Draw With Rob and Peanut Jones *

You'll be wowed when you step into the bustling, offbeat, technicolour Unfairies universe. It's brimming with wacky and lovable beasts, slugs, insects and ... fairies. Unfairies is anarchy at its best - Huw Aaron somehow makes making comics look effortless (they aren't). There isn't a single stiffly drawn or ugly mark in this book. Unfairies shows a real mastery of the form with spreads skilfully balanced between snappy, fast-moving panel sequences and big splash pages or double paged cross section maps that you could get lost in for hours. The sound effects and action bubbles and lettering are so nicely done. The dialogue is hilarious, the story is pacy and the illustrations are bursting with energy.
Unfairies is enviably bonkers and I loved it.

* Sheena Dempsey, bestselling author of Pablo and Splash *
