Elgelina Atterbury
Baker and craft enthusiast
Always very excitable, Eleglina is always happiest when she’s making a delicious cake or transforming a piece of paper into something far more magical. A gifted artist, she has an endless supply of imagination and creativity which has resulted in her small cottage becoming quite full of all the lovely things she has made.
TOP SECRET We tell you this only because we think it’s important for you to know, but Elgelina is actually a Fairy. She is supposed to stay in her human form whilst teaching her students how to bake cakes or how to create a fairy castle from some mushed up paper, string, glue and glitter, but sometimes all the excitement gets the better of her and she pops back to her fairy form. We wouldn’t want you to have a fright. Don’t worry, this is quite normal and not at all painful despite the odd popping noise, but it’s important that we don’t tell absolutely everyone about her true fairy-form so that we don’t alarm those people who don’t like to believe in magic.
It might surprise you to know that, as far as she can remember, Elgelina is about 314 years old. This is actually quite young for a fairy (Elgelina’s mum is about 563!), but it also means that she’s got lots of interesting things to tell us about the Very Olden Days. She definitely thinks that the cake recipes are better these days though, she says that she wasn’t too keen on frog pie!
