Chapter 1

Chapter ONE It was the morning of Midwinter's Eve and I woke up feeling very excited. I had been waiting for this day to arrive all year! Midwinter's Eve is a special night for the Fairy Realm. It's a celebration of nature and the seasons and is on the longest night of the year!

第一章这是仲冬前夜的早晨，我醒来时感到非常兴奋。 我等这一天的到来已经等了一年了！仲冬之夜对仙女王国来说是一个特殊的夜晚。 这是对大自然和季节的庆祝，也是一年中最长的夜晚！

My Aunt Crystal and Uncle Wren had invited us to go and stay with them in the Winter Fairy Realm. They had promised to take us to the Frost Festival! There would be ice skating, twinkling lights, hot chocolate, snow, and lots of other lovely and exciting things!

克里斯托婶婶和雷恩叔叔邀请我们和他们一起去冬仙王国。 他们答应带我们去冰霜节！会有滑冰，闪烁的灯光，热巧克力，雪，和许多其他可爱和令人兴奋的事情！

I jumped out of bed and put on my clothes. Then, to save time, I flew down the stairs, flapping my little vampire-fairy wings, with Pink Rabbit bouncing along behind me. Pink Rabbit used to be my favourite stuffed toy but my mum magicked him alive with her wand. She can do things like that because she is a fairy. 'Morning, Isadora,' said Mum when I arrived in the kitchen. 'Sleep well?' 'Sort of,' I said. 'But

我跳下床，穿上衣服。 然后，为了节省时间，我飞下楼梯，拍打着我吸血鬼般的小翅膀，粉红兔在我身后蹦蹦跳跳。 粉红兔子曾经是我最喜欢的毛绒玩具，但我妈妈用魔杖把它变活了。 她能做那样的事，因为她是仙女。 “早上好，伊莎多拉。”当我到达厨房时，妈妈说。 “睡得好吗?“差不多吧，”我说。 但

there were butterflies fluttering around in my tummy all night. I'm so excited!' Mum laughed. 'Well, we'll be leaving for the Winter Fairy Realm soon,' she said. 'I've made you a hearty breakfast!' She put a bowl of porridge down in front of me. There were walnuts sprinkled on top of it. I reached for the maple syrup. Next to me, my baby sister Honeyblossom stuck her fingers into her own bowl of porridge and then wiped them in her hair. 'I've made some for you too, Bartholomew,' Mum said. 'Me?' said Dad, looking shocked. 'Porridge! I can't eat porridge! It's not very vampire-y. It's not even red and you know

我整晚都忐忑不安。 我太兴奋了！”妈妈笑了。 “嗯，我们很快就要动身去冬精灵王国了。”她说。 “我给你做了一顿丰盛的早餐！”她把一碗粥放在我面前。 上面撒着核桃。 我伸手去拿枫糖浆。 在我旁边，我的小妹妹蜜花把手指伸进她自己的碗里，然后在头发上擦了擦。 “我也给你做了一些，巴塞洛缪，”妈妈说。 “我?爸爸说，看起来很震惊。 “粥!我不能喝粥！不太像吸血鬼。 它甚至都不是红色的

I only eat red food. 'I know,' smiled Mum. She placed a bowl on the table in front of Dad. I leant over to look. She had mixed up the porridge with loads of raspberries and sprinkled them on top too.

我只吃红色的食物。“我知道，”妈妈笑着说。 她把一个碗放在爸爸面前的桌子上。 我俯下身去看。她把粥和很多覆盆子混在一起，还撒在上面。
