About Tiffany Mandrake


Let's get things straight right away. I am not fairy breed myself. I would have no objection to being fairy breed, but I am, alas, wholly human. Many of my friends are bad fairies, however, especially since I took up a situation as biographer to the pupils of Hags' Abademy of Badness.


Should you choose to visit this blog, you should take the precaution of swallowing a pinch os parsley beforehand. Parsley is a sovereign remedy against indigestion. Would I lie to you?


And what will you see if you visit? Who can say? Flower facts, fairy facts, recipes and remedies, reviews and rants, rhymes and riddles. And sometimes you'll find a journal of my doings.
