Synopsis

A lyrical celebration of families and the fun of the fair... Billy Brown is in a hurry. The fair is starting now. Why won't everyone hurry up too? Well, there are pies to be baked, wood to be chopped and animals to be brushed - to show and to sell at the fair. Only Grandma is ready to go. But as Grandma and Billy set off, suddenly everyone else is in a hurry - to see the fair with Billy Brown!

Media Reviews
For an unreconstructed comfort read, the nostalgic Hurry Down to Derry Fair is a gorgeous, pastel-toned pastoral vision of childhood... It ends with a splendid gatefold panorama of the country fair with lots of intricate details to point out. * Daily Telegraph *
For an unreconstructed comfort read, the nostalgic Hurry Down to Derry Fair is a gorgeous, pastel-toned pastoral vision of childhood rich with hot air balloons and cherry candyfloss, in which mummies make lemon pies and daddies chop wood. It ends with a splendid gatefold panorama of the country fair with lots of intricate details to point out. * Daily Telegraph *
The feel is nostalgic without sentimentality...Arrival at the fair is celebrated in a lovely four-page spread. * The Observer *
