My fairy adventures

Once upon a time, there was a lonely childless widow who wished with all her heart for a family. Some fairies overhearing her plea, conspired to help and give the lovely lady a daughter of her own. Meanwhile, elsewhere in the kingdom, a plowman wanting nothing more than a son, sent his wife to consult Merlin, a great wizard. Merlin listened to the lady and agreed to help. He studied his books and conjured a spell, transforming an ordinary barleycorn into an enchantment. The fairies, who had been watching, stole the barleycorn, whilst the wizard slept and when the woman returned in...

Chapter one Not so long ago in a garden not very far away, a fairy princess was fleeing a troop of trolls in her little fairy boat. As she sailed across the pond she called out for help.
