The reign of King Oberon

The collection assembles retellings of traditional fairy and folk tales presented as narratives told at a fairy court, featuring changelings, helpful and trickster sprites, enchanted animals, magical objects, and tests of virtue. Each short tale centers on encounters between ordinary humans and otherworldly beings, with outcomes shaped by bravery, cleverness, or compassion, and often involving transformation or bargaining. Framed by the courtly setting and lyrical introductions, the book emphasizes variety of tone—from playful mischief to solemn wonder—while preserving the concise episodic structure of oral folk narrative.
