Il Piccolo Regno di Ben e Holly

Holly invites Ben on the annual Royal Fairy Picnic. King Thistle hopes there won’t be a repeat of last year’s magical jelly flood…

Holly and Ben think Gaston the Ladybird is sad so they try and cheer him up by tidying his cave. But Gaston liked his cave just as it was all messy and untidy. Ben and Holly cheer Gaston up by making his cave all messy again.

Holly needs her wand to do magic. But one day Holly loses her wand and is very sad. Ben uses his elf skills to find it again.

Holly goes with Ben and Mr Elf to the elf farm to collect an egg for the King’s breakfast. While there a huge chicken escapes from the farm and Holly and the elves have to chase it across the Little Kingdom.

Holly and her friends must stay in the courtyard and play with Holly’s little twin sisters Daisy and Poppy. All is fine until the twins borrow a magic wand, escape from the Castle and turn the whole kingdom into “bunny rabbits”, “froggies” and “birdy wirdies”.

Queen Thistle has a beautiful new teapot so delicate that no one is allowed to touch it. Holly accidentally breaks the teapot and tries to fix it with Ben’s help.

Holly accidentally turns Ben into a frog by magic. Ben hops off to the pond. With the help of her friends, Holly tries to turn Ben back into an elf but instead turns him into a bird and then a rabbit before Nanny Plum comes to the rescue.

Holly spends the day with King Thistle on his royal duties. King Thistle is very busy. He must launch an elf boat, judge a fairy fruit competition and make a speech at the Festival of elf and fairy dancing. Holly helps the King realise what fun his royal duties can be.

Ben and Holly are having fun playing together in the meadow. Holly gets frustrated when Ben uses his elf skills to win all the games. Then Ben gets frustrated when Holly uses her magic skills to win all the games.

King Thistle has a cold and needs medicine. Nanny Plum, Holly and Ben have fun collecting the ingredients for a magic potion to make him better, including a dewdrop from a spider’s web, slug slime and the burp of a frog.

Ben, Holly and Gaston the Ladybird find a large egg in the meadow. A tiny chick hatches from the egg and the children must find the mummy bird.

Ben is in training for the elf games, Holly wants to join in but the rules state there is absolutely no flying or magic allowed. After unintentionally causing Ben to lose some of his events, Ben gives Holly one last chance to join in without using her magic.

Nanny Plum is teaching the fairy girls some important fairy rules when she is blown away, trapped in a tree, dropped in a stream and covered in mud. Ben, Holly and Gaston the Ladybird come to her rescue.

The Elf Factory is deep down in the roots of The Great Elf Tree. It is almost Christmas time and the elves are busy making toys. Holly has fun visiting the Elf Factory and when there is a problem with the toys a little bit of magic saves the day.

Queen Thistle reads Ben and Holly a book about a nasty witch, so Nanny takes the children to make a real one who lives in the forest. But Nanny is rude to the witch, who freezes her with magic.

Holly and Ben help the Wise Old Elf play a trick on Nanny Plum for Elf Joke Day, but she does not see the funny side, and gets her revenge by turning the Wise Old Elf into a giant snail.

Snooty King and Queen Marigold are coming to visit, but when the King’s new clothed get dirty Nanny cleans them, along the King’s old clothes - and accidentally shrinks them all. With nothing else to wear, Nanny magics some clothes for the King from vegetables in the kitchen.

Holly and Nanny Plum join Ben at Elf School, where the Wise Old Elf tells them that strictly no magic should be used. All the Elf children are very good at building their toys, but Holly finds it difficult until Nanny uses a little magic to help her out.

A mole disturbs King Thistle’s Golf Course, so a Gnome is enlisted to help drive it away. Soon though the Gnome is ordering the Elves around, and turning the King’s Golf Course into a Crazy Golf Course.

The Wise Old Elf teaches the elf children how to tell the time using a watch, while Nanny Plum would much rather use a dandelion clock to teach the fairy children. The Wise Old Elf thinks this is silly, and takes Ben and Holly to see the big clock at the top of the Elf Tree.

Gaston catches a cold when his cave has a leaky roof, so Holly invites him to stay at the Little Castle until it is fixed. But soon Gaston is taking over, eating the King’s food, sitting in his chair and sleeping in his bed.

Holly joins Ben and his family on an Elf trip to the seaside, and Mr Elf tells her that no magic is to be used. But when they realise that no one has remember to pack lunch they as Holly to use her magic to make some. In return, the Elves build her a giant sand castle, but Holly must use magic again to rescue herself and Ben when the tide comes in and they are stuck in their castle.

Holly forgets Ben’s birthday, and rushes home to make him a birthday card. But Nanny has stopped all magic, so Holly has to make the card herself. It’s fun, but when she takes the card to Ben she is embarrassed that it is hand-made.

Queen Thistle reads the children a story about the stars, and they all wonder where the stars go in the daytime. They can’t find the answer in the magic books in the castle, so go instead to the Wise Old Elf in the Great Elf Library.

Ben and Holly meet a new friend, Betty Caterpillar, but she is sad that she can’t join in their games because she can’t fly. King Thistle tells them that they can feed her lots of food to help her, but Holly thinks that Betty is getting so fat she will not be able to fly, until she turns into a beautiful butterfly.
