About This Book

A collection of nine magical tales about strange lands inhabited by princesses and kelpies. Stories about everyday places where magical and mysterious things happen to ordinary children, include an oak tree falling in love with a girl and a boy's dream being stolen by the tooth fairy.

When the everyday world and the enchanted world overlap --

• A boy is given a rainbow and rolls it up in his pocket, but soon learns he cannot hold on to it forever.
• A tree falls in love with a beautiful girl.
• A tooth fairy steals a child's joyful dream because she has none of her own.

Nine stories, from humorous to haunting, show the strange and surprising things that happen when fairies and human beings come together in a world where anything is possible.
