About this deal

Oddly, sometimes the American version simply dropped words - even whole sentences - from the original British version for no apparent reason at all. I just realized that idk if the goblin's genders have ever been specified idk they might've but if they haven't I feel bad because I've been misgendering them Izzy is the mascot for the Rainbow Fairies series and every Holiday Special book in the traditional layout. The ending to Heather the Violet Fairy (when Kirsty and Rachel returned her to the pot) was different in Rainbow Magic: Return to Rainspell Island, compared to the book's ending. What really interested me about this book, though, is that the version published in the US, Inky the Indigo Fairy, has a different name from the original version published in the UK, Izzy the Indigo Fairy. Izzy is not an uncommon name in America, so why the change? I got to wondering how else the books might differ...

Izzy is very wise and calm. In the book, she is described as being a bit cheeky. She is also active and always ready for an adventure. She gets on well with everybody and easily makes friends. Even though she has a calm nature, she can be a bit mischievous at times. She is also shown to be a big fan of music, as revealed in the filmThey feature in two Scholastic Reader books: The Rainbow Fairies and The Fairies' Birthday Surprise. Indigo is a colour linked to artistic pursuits. Izzy is a musician, who is always practicing, trying to learn one new instrument or another. Blurb [ ]

As suggested by the end of Heather the Violet Fairy, the Rainbow Fairies set was originally meant to be a stand-alone series, before its popularity gave the creators a reason to prolong it by writing more series. Daisy Meadows is the pseudonym used for the four writers of the Rainbow Magic children's series: Narinder Dhami, Sue Bentley, Linda Chapman, and Sue Mongredien. Rainbow Magic features differing groups of fairies as main characters, including the Jewel fairies, Weather fairies, Pet fairies, Petal fairies, and Sporty fairies. In the film, she seems very interested in music, something which was never mentioned in the books. She seems to be the rebel of the group, and she didn't talk much in the movie. Amber was trapped in a creamy orange scallop shell. Orange bubbles emanate from her wand. She has flame-colored hair tied up with peach blossoms and wears an orange catsuit with long boots. In the books, she is quite troublesome, causing mischief wherever she goes. This happens in the land of sweets when she turns the lemonade indigo, and a gingerbread man's bowtie indigo.Very frequently, the American version changed or added words, presumably to make the text more descriptive. Over and over, the original British version had "they", but the American version specified "the girls". Other changes include: On the other side of the arch, the sun shone down warmly from a bright blue sky. Flowers made of whipped cream grew underneath chocolate trees. Squishy pink and white marshmallow houses lined the street, which was paved with jelly beans." Sue Bentley was born in Northampton, England. She worked in a library after completing her education and began writing for children once her own began school. Bentley is the author of the Magic Kitten, Magic Puppy, and S Club series and lives in Northamptonshire. She was the only Rainbow fairy to be trapped in a book instead of an actual location on Rainspell Island. did all the fish pee in it and that's why it's yellow and then they just called it lemonade or something
