Izzy the Indigo Fairy

Product Information

Of the seven Rainbow Fairies books, Izzy's book underwent the most changes when it was published in the US, mostly minor terminology edits for things that might be unfamiliar to American children. Toffee became caramel, Cornet's name was changed to Cone, currants became chocolate chips, and lemon sherbet became cocoa powder. Izzy may have originally been called Inky in the UK during the series' original release, but her name was changed in every subsequent release as some UK editions exist with ‘Inky’.

did all the fish pee in it and that's why it's yellow and then they just called it lemonade or something 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."

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 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... The goblins had tied Inky’s sneakers together with strawberry licorice. They were dragging her up the road, toward the jelly bean fields."

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. Spelling was also country-specific. British "colour" versus American "color", "realised" versus "realized".Saffron was trapped in one of Mrs. Merry's beehives. Yellow butterflies fall from her wand. She has short blonde hair and wears a yellow t-shirt with a butterfly in the corner, yellow shorts with a butterfly at the bottom, and yellow trainers. 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. 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. Izzy is the mascot for the Rainbow Fairies series and every Holiday Special book in the traditional layout.

They feature in two Scholastic Reader books: The Rainbow Fairies and The Fairies' Birthday Surprise. Oddly, sometimes the American version simply dropped words - even whole sentences - from the original British version for no apparent reason at all. But, oftentimes, I couldn't figure out why the wording was changed. The British version used words like "gleaming", "beside", "odd", and "little" - all perfectly acceptable words - but the American version replaced those words with synonyms like "shining", "next to", "strange", and "small", respectively. Why!? It seemed so arbitrary. These type of seemingly inexplicable changes were very common. It was fascinating. 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.
