About This Book

A sequence of short, child-oriented fairy tales presents encounters between young people and a variety of fairies, spirits, and enchanted beings, unfolding whimsical adventures and small moral dilemmas. Stories range from a girl who longs to become a nightingale and sacrifices treasured pearls to a magician, to quarrels between sea and land fairies, courtly parties, a cloud with no lining, the forging of jewels, a spider's lost diamonds, a child who steps into a book, and a fairy left with only one wing. Each tale mixes lyrical description, gentle wonder, and the consequences of wishes and choices.
