JonathanJonathan Jones is Peter Pixie’s best friend and lives in a stumpy bent toadstool just along the lane from Peter.
Jonathan is also 10 years old and goes to the same school as Peter Pixie. Jonathan enjoys learning, but has difficulty remembering things. As the teachers speak so quickly he has developed his own letter codes so he can write down everything. He and Peter share these codes and use them to confuse grown up Pixies! Together they have trained Peter’s pet, Sidney spider to flash his six eyes in different patterns to mean different things. As Jonathan is rather forgetful and finds it difficult to see what would happen next, he frequently rushes into an adventure without thinking what could go wrong. This can get him into serious trouble! Luckily Peter Pixie is normally around to help him out. Out of school Jonathan belongs to the swimming club, but only has his four-centipede badge because he splashes a lot, yet hardly moves along the water. Jonathan’s mother is a short plump Pixie with purple hair and the happiest red face you could ever see. She loves cooking and always wears her spider silk apron, which is stained with a variety of cooking spills. She cooks delicious golden honeysuckle biscuits and always has some ready when Peter Pixie calls. |

AngelaAngela Autumn is Paula Pixie’s best friend. She is bright, happy and always laughing. Angela lives with her father in a tree fungus half way up a tall cedar tree. He takes great care of Angela because her mother died when she was six years old. Angela was born with damaged legs that have not grown properly, so she has ant legs attached to her hips to help her move around. This annoys her friends because she can move around a lot faster than any of them!
Angela is another studious Pixie who, like Paula Pixie, loves solving problems and mysteries. She is very keen on small animals’ welfare and helps her father train the worms that make the acorn train tunnels. Out of school Angela belongs to the counting club and the swimming club. She has her 50-centipede badge and swims without her ant legs. She is in the synchronised swimming team with a lovely green costume made from plaited grass, which sparkles when wet. |
Peter & Paula’s Mother
Peter and Paula’s mother is very busy helping with Pixie Charities and at the local Pixie hospital in the tree called “Pine 35.” She trained as a Pixie nurse, learning how to care for Pixies and small animals. Through this work she met Angela’s parents and helped form the Pixie charity “Legs Eleven” to give assistance to Pixies and small animals with deformed limbs.
In the morning she gets up early and cooks breakfast for the whole family. When they have left she travels to Pine35, where she helps in the wards or has meetings with other members of the charity. The evening is spent chatting with the family or playing games such as “Make a Beetle” (Peter’s favourite) or “Escape from Appledore” (Paula’s favourite).

Peter & Paula’s Father
Peter and Paula’s father works at the Acorn Carriage Works company, designing the carriages and ventilation systems that propel them through the worm tunnels. He has to investigate when acorn carriages have problems, which can happen if small tree roots grow into the tunnels. This causes the carriages to spin, which is rather upsetting for the passengers. Provided the passengers are wearing their seat belts they are held safely, but any luggage not secured could fly around the carriage. He also helps plan new worm tunnels to trees.
Peter & Paula’s Grandfather
Peter and Paula’s grandfather is their mother’s father. He retired many years ago. He moves very slowly, but his mind is as sharp as a thorn. His memory is fantastic and he tells tales of his childhood and working years that would make your hair curl!
Aunty Belinda
Aunty Belinda is their mother’s sister. The two sisters couldn’t be more different. Whereas their mother is slim and busy working for Pixie charities, Aunty Belinda is large and cuddly and spends a lot of her time brewing river cider. Scornful of toadstool living, Aunty Belinda lives in a bullrush at the edge of the Lost Pond and spends her leisure time sitting on the waterlily leaves chatting to the little fish and water boatmen. No local acorn trains for her - she prefers to travel by dragonfly taxi!
