"Fairy Tale: A True Story" tells the tale of two little girls who set out to prove the existence of fairies. Grownups don't believe in the tiny sprites but they don't know where to look for them. If only the girls could photograph the fairies and show them to the world. Soon to be a major motion picture from Paramount, starring Harvey Keitel and Peter O'Toole.
A boy made for mischief, Tom constantly grieves his Aunt Polly with his cunning tricks to get out of school and to lead an idle life of swimming and larking by the banks of the Mississippi. His scrapes vary from whitewashing a fence to witnessing a murder and from running away to be a pirate to hunting by night for buried treasure - but each episode ends with Tom ingeniously on top, as the hero of the village and the envy of all the other boys.
