Herein is a collection of three short stories about fairies, each complete with a good moral lesson – just as every fairy tale should be. Written by Edit Howes, these are historical fairy stories that deal with issues like war and peace. This is not surprising, as it was published in the aftermath of the horrors of WWI. The First World War was a disaster for New Zealand (Howes’ adoptive country) as 33% of its adult male population were killed in action. This book contains the following stories: Wonderwings - The youngest fairy wants beautiful wings like the fairy called Wonderwings, but she has to work doing good deeds to earn them. Will the fairy succeed in her endeavours? The Magic Mirror - A queen sets out to learn the secret of the neighbouring kingdom's prosperity so she can teach it to her son the king. But what does she discover? Fairy Tenderheart - One of the fairies is overcome with empathy for the warring humans and wishes to help them, even if it means leaving the other fairies forever. Will her forfeit lead to success or will the warring humans ignore her sacrifice? So, we invite you to curl up with this unique sliver of Fairy culture not seen in print for over a century; and immerse yourself in the tales and fables of yesteryear. 10% of the net sale will be donated to charities by the publisher. ============== KEYWORDS/TAGS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, happy place, happiness, wonderwings, magic mirror, fairy tenderheart, Little, Queen-mother, fairies, Poppypink, beautiful, flowers, Wings, flew, fly, men, Fairyland, Westroyal, Oldest, youngest, million, country, garden, earth, heart, woman, man, alone, Eastroyal, Lovely, golden, young, plant, peace, King, land, Love, pictures, flashing, hobbled, strange, laughed, laughter, colours, kingdom, sorrow, sister, Voices, Deeps, children's, reflected, sunshine, polished, rainbows, children, shining, secret, smile, stream, night, day, North, south east, west, sleeping-chamber, Understanding, Knowledge, blackened, map-maker, wonder, wonderland, Bright, dark, darkness, Flowers, pointed, crystal, throne, obey, dreary, exciting

This book is for all little boys and girls who love fairies and pixies. Hewe we have a story about a boy named Wendell, who lives in Boston and likes fairy stories and baseball MUCH more than he likes fractions – but he does like reading and can be found in the children’s section of the library on most days. He even checked fairytale books out of the library and took them home with him. At night his parents had to take the books away from him as he was quite often found in the early hours of the morning reading a book under his covers with a torch. Then Wendell reads about the Wishing Stone. On making enquiries he finds it is no longer where his book said it would be and he starts to make enquiries as to its current whereabouts – and so starts Wendell’s adventure across Boston and into the land of Fairydom. This volume is sure to keep you and your young ones enchanted for hours, if not because of the quantity, then their quality. They will have you coming back for more time and again. ============ KEYWORDS/TAGS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, childrens stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy kingdom, ethereal, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, happy place, happiness, laughter, Wishing Stone, Pixie Starts It, First Task, Wendell, Unexpected, Ally, Frog, Out Of The Common, extraordinary, Enchanted Maiden, Midnight Spell, Cousin Virginia, Caller, Break, Charm, spell, Giant, House, Cloak Of Darkness, invisibility, Blind Man’s Buff, bluff, Cap Of Thought, Magic Book, Choice, Happy Family, Sammy, Tries His Hand, Acorn, Beacon, Beauteous, Beautiful, Boston, Cap, Cousin, electric, freckle-faced, Kobold, library, magic, Maiden, Mummer, Park, Pixie, riddle, Sammy, school, shape, squirrel, stepmother, Stepsister, telephone, Virginia, Wendell, young

A fantastic YA tale of the demon-haunted forests of 13th C. Germany. In the Dale of the Dragon, or Der Tal des Drachen, lives a young man named Jerome, the hero of our story. In the surrounding forest lives the witch Martha and her twin ravens which speak of Satan, who even makes an appearance to tempt Jerome to the dark side of life. But what is a haunted forest if it doesn’t have robber barons and outlaws, and what would our story be without Agnes the maiden, who is, of course, in distress. Who is the mysterious Saint of the Dragon's Dale - a powerful, mysterious figure with a dark secret. Will he ride in to save the day, or will he be too late. To find the answers to these, and any other questions you may have, download this little book and find out for yourself. ============ KEYWORDS/TAGS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children, young adult, stories, bygone era, , Saint of the dragon’s dale, Abbess, abbey, Action, adventure, Agnes, Andreas, angel, Bamberg, Baron, basket, battlement, beasts, Beelzebub, blackened, burgomaster, castle, palace, Christ, Christian, Church, Clement, crucifix, Dale of the Dragon, Dale, Dame, Davis, demons, Devil, Dragon, dungeon, Eisenach, Emperor, forest, Franz, Franz-of-the-Ram’s-Pate, Frederick, Freiherr, Fritz, frowned, furze, gate, Gerda, Germany, glade, God, golden, Goslar, Graf, Count, greenwood, Gustav, Harun, Harz, heaven, helmet, Hems, herald, hermit, holy, Italy, Jerome, hero, heroine, in distress, Jesuit, Johann, Judgment, Kaiser, kiss, knight, lanzknecht, laugh, laughter, Lord, Ludwig, maid, maiden, Martha the Witch, Masterless, Mathilde, men-at-arms, Michael, midnight, moon, moonlight, Mordecai, noble, partridge, paynim, pixies, poacher, portcullis, postern, prayer, Priest, ransom, raven, Rome, rose, Rudolf, Saint, Satan, sheepskin, Sigismund, squire, sun, sword, temptation, Thuringerwald, Thuringia, turn to stone, Ulrich, Wartburg, wench, wicked, Witch, Wolf, Zebek, Zodok

The Story of Princess Nobody is a tale from Fairy Land. A Charming story with equally charming illustrations which enhance the narrative of a much-loved classic that tells the story of Prince Comical and his search for the diminutive princess who doesn’t have a name. To backtrack, the king and queen were childless, and a hasty promise was made by the King of the Fairies when a dwarf offers to provide him and his queen with a much-desired child. The condition was for her hand in marriage when she was old-enough. True to his promise, a child was soon conceived…… As a young girl, the princess lived a charmed life with loving parents, a doting fairy-Godmother and the birds of the forest as her companions. The dwarf reappeared at the appointed time only for the king to realise what he had promised. Princess Nobody is whisked away and hidden deep in the forest in order to protect her. At first several royal suitors seek her out but without success. Finally, Prince Comical succeeds in his search for the diminutive princess overcoming a number of obstacles in his attempt to find her. He woos her and they fall in love and marry (look for the cute image of the prince and princess kissing across the top of a mushroom!) Realising the princess’ predicament has not altered, the prince and princess make a departure and disappear after the marriage and escape the dwarf, and the story has a “happy ever after” ending. Elves, fairies, dwarfs and other denizens of fairyland will prove irresistible to anyone enchanted by the fantasy world of sprites and other little people. Written by Andrew Lang in 1884, the master folklorist, after he saw the illustrations of Richard Doyle. This volume contains 61 BnW and colour illustrations by Doyle.
