In one of the beautiful bays on the coast of Fairy Land, a party of Fairies was assembled on a lovely evening in July. There are many beautiful bays on the coast of England, and there is one especially, my dear little readers, which you and I know of, where a long line of grand old rocks stretches far into the sea on the left-hand extremity, while in the distance to the right a warning lighthouse with its changing lights gives an almost solemn beauty to the scene; for one cannot help thinking, at the sight of it, of the poor storm-driven mariner, whom even that friendly light may fail to save from a sad and sudden death.

31 of 33 people found the following review helpful. Still Stands Out By JPS I have enjoyed all of the free fairy-tale type stories available for the Kindle. I have read many of them in the last few months, including this one. A few weeks after finishing this book, it still stands out as one of my favorites. After seeing that not very many readers have reviewed this book, I felt compelled to share my opinion. If you like to read fairy-tale type stories for children (Grimm's fairy tales and the like), then this book is highly recommended.I also thought the themes of the stories were pretty original, when compared with other, older fairy-tales. The reader isn't always 100% sure how the story would turn out.
19 of 26 people found the following review helpful. Not Impressed By Amazon Customer If what you are looking for is a book of overly-stereotypical fairy tales involving florid prose, impossibly eloquent children, simplistic moral messages and occasional digressions into the philosophy of time and wishes, then this is the book for you. Otherwise I'd suggest saving your time and reading something more accessible.Stories included are:The Fairy Godmothers: Five fairy godmothers get together for a philosophical discussion of the merits and problems of various fairy-gifts they can bestow upon the newborn. Unable to conclude anything useful from their debate, the fairies decide to experiment on their godchildren to see what gift brings the most happiness to humans.Joachim the Mimic: Joachim finds a Genie on the beach and wishes to be able to imitate everything that is good in the world. The Genie says that the best he can do is give Joachim the power of imitation, and Joachim must learn for himself what is good and what is not.Darkness and Light: A family with a sea-castle and fairy ancestry also has a son who is scared of the dark. Although his parents wish that their fairy relative would help their son get over his fear, the son is blinded by a stray piece of sand and must learn to live entirely in the dark.The Love of God: I didn't read this one because I'd had all I could stand of the writing style and clever, philosophical children. (I may have cried "for the love of God! do not make me read another one!" upon seeing it.)
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Slightly better. By Jennifer Fisher I enjoyed the stories better in this one than I did in the last fairy tale book I ordered. I liked the Harry Potter references in the first one. (One of the characters being named Hermione and the whole Philosopher's Stone bit.) I also liked how in the second story, the blind boy got his sight back. The other 2 stories were forgettable.
