''And they lived happily ever after. The end.'' All of Claire''s favourite fairytales finish like this, but they never seem to explain what it is, exactly, that makes someone happy ever after. At bedtime her father encourages her to think about it... and soon Claire and her toy unicorn, Capricorn, drift off to sleep for a fairytale adventure. Once in dreamland they meet a fairy, a princess and a frog prince (among others) - all of whom have different takes on ''happy ever after''. Even the talking wishing well has some surprising suggestions. A beautifully imaginative story which challenges the traditional cliche of fairytale endings.

Once Upon A Time, a little girl called Claire and her stuffed unicorn, Capricorn, were very fond of fairy tales. Every night Claire''s father read them stories of frog princes and fairy princesses, and every night every character lived happily ever after. Then one evening, just as a story came to its close, Claire suddenly wondered: What, exactly, makes someone happy forever? It was a question to answer as she slept. So Claire hugged Capricorn, and together they drifted into a dreamland adventure....

Offers a child''s perspective on the many things to be thankful for, including family, friends, and play-time and asks for guidance in appreciating these things.
