About pesky pixie

Pesky Pixie is the central character of a planned series of publications by author Anne B Lewis. The first in the series called simply The Pesky Pixie is due for release later this year. Anne first conceived of the character when living in a student house of four boys and four girls, whilst studying at The University of Wales, Swansea. The boys' unconfessed untidiness and sneaky food stealing ways, gave rise to a mythical scapegoat - the pixie. From then on, the phrase "blame it on the pixie" was the de facto defence for all things mischievous. Later, Anne's auspicious alliterative attention led to the full blown name Pesky Pixie!
