Adventure in the Land of the Fairies

Adventure in the Land of the Fairies: The Magic Cupboard under the Stairs, Book 1 is and well narrated. It follows Molly on a bright adventure through a fairy world. The fairies are friendly and exciting. Molly is brave and kind. The book is perfect for children who like magic and adventure.

A magical adventure

I love stories of getting lost and finding your way back home. I especially like this one because it deals with all things in the land of fantasy which makes it even more magical!

Great with the kids

We listened to Adventure in the Land of the Fairies together during our evening car rides, and it quickly became a favorite. The story pulled us right in—my kids were completely captivated by Molly’s magical discovery under the stairs. Nicola J. Moore’s narration made everything come alive; her voice shifted beautifully between wonder and excitement, and even I found myself smiling at the fairies’ dialogue. The pacing was perfect for kids—gentle enough to follow but full of surprises that kept them guessing. By the end, my kids were already asking if there’s a Book 2 we can listen to next. It’s a lovely mix of imagination, courage, and fun—perfect for young dreamers (and their parents).

Perfect bridge to longer chapter books

I think this audiobook works really well as a stepping stone for kids before they move on to longer series like Harry Potter. It made my kids want to keep listening, and that doesn’t always happen, so for me that’s already a big plus.

The story isn’t overly complicated or packed with too many details, which I honestly appreciated. It reminded me a little of The Chronicles of Narnia, especially with the cupboard turning into a kind of black hole that leads to the magical land of Shimora. Molly trying to find her way back home while helping Rusty, Pips, and the others keeps things exciting, but it’s still easy enough for kids to follow without getting lost.

The narration was probably my favorite part, since each character has a slightly different voice. I believe this will encourage kids to keep reading and develop a real love for it.

Predictably Girly

This is a cute story for little girls. It's very predictable which little people would find comforting. But I do wish Molly had more character growth. Obviously the moral lesson was for her to learn patience. She didn't open her presents when she returned from Fairy Land, so there was growth. But the story didn't show her developing her patience. It wasn't really tested in Fairy Land. The narration was OK. But Pips' voice didn't seem very consistent to me. The sound words weren't my favorites. Plus it lacked variation in volume and tone. I think I would have preferred the book over the audio.
