“Deep down underground in a cool, dark pool below the third of the Nine Wells lived an eel. He was no ordinary eel. He was a wishing eel…”

This story and the accompanying watercolour pictures by year 2 pupils, was created during a Vital Communities residency at Fawcett Primary School. It was inspired by a visit to Nine Wells Nature Reserve, Cambridge, in the summer of 2007.
