Story Behind The Book
I wrote this book for my little girl who loved fairy tales and couldn't get enough of them. But I also wrote it as an analogy, with C. S. Lewis and George MacDonald as inspiration. And as they have also said, this book is not only for children, but for those who are young at heart.

The author's descriptive words carried me to a world of kings, queens, fairy tale creatures, and adventure. I could imagine each character, as well as the colorful surroundings. It is fun to immerse myself in another world for awhile. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy tales. - E. Mason</span></p>
