Fairies Plain Simple

An Introduction to the History and Mystery of Their Magical Realm Fairies abound in the realms of myth and folklore. They have enchanted humans for centuries—but are these mischievous, ethereal creatures more than just myth? One could ask for no better guide to the fairy realm than Ralph Harvey, one of England’s foremost modern-day witches. In Fairies Plain & Simple he intersperses his own intriguing fairy encounters (among them, a mysterious musical interlude in an Irish valley) with succinct yet interesting introductions to fairy lore. You will learn why roses have special meaning to fairies and why “elf bolts” are significant as well as how fairies influenced everyone from Henry III to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Harvey even describes the best ways to seek out fairies (hint: aligning your chakras will help) and how to express gratitude for fairy favors.

Laura believes that fairies are everywhere. She loves land-fairies, moon-fairies, mer-fairies. Plain and simple: there is nothing in the world that Laura wants to be more than a fairy. Every day, Laura practices her flyingup and down and flap, flap, flapwhile using her imaginary fairy powers to travel to unusual places and plant colorful flowers along the way. When her fairy-wings become tired, clever Laura always finds a way to return home. But there is only one problem: Lauras mother does not believe there are fairies everywhere. Laura thinks her mother does not understand her or the important role of fairies in the world. Now only time will tell if they can ever live happily ever after in the same world. In this charming childrens picture book, a little girls vivid imagination transports her to places where she uses her fairy powers to add beauty and color and hopes that one day, her exasperated mother will understand her dreams.

The Fairy Tales, Fables and Parables each end with morals. Morals are often the central idea of a story, If a child understands the central idea of the story, they have an easy time creating the story. Try it. It works!
