From the Author
The Fairy Chronicles is a series of modern fairy tales full of magical creatures, both good and evil, and heroic characters who participate in dangerous missions to protect nature and fix serious problems. Ideal for all ages, reading levels ages 7 to 12, the stories include a diverse set of fairy characters and a wide variety of other magical creatures such as trolls, brownies, witches, dwarves, gnomes, elves, unicorns, goblins, wizards, dragons, ogres, magic gargoyles, gremlins, demons, nymphs, giants, and many more.
Each story has some sort of problem to be solved such as recovering the stolen Shell of Laughter, helping to break an evil curse, solving the mystery of the Magic Snowglobe, rescuing kidnapped bat fairies, trying to locate missing human shadows, or helping a dragon complete a dangerous quest. Characters and readers learn interesting things such as why fairies fear jigsaw puzzles, how dragons are born, why the flamingo stands on one foot, the reason human beings have a shadow, what the grasshopper uses buttons for, where courage comes from, how hope is spread around the world, and what causes nightmares. The Fairy Chronicles are stand-alone books and can be read in any order.

Firefly, Marigold, Periwinkle, and Thistle all sat quietly, thinking how horrible it would be if their fairy spirits were taken from them, and how sad it was that Magnolia would never remember any of the wonderful things about being a fairy. Periwinkle's snail spirit guide, perched on her shoulder, sighed and shook his head sadly.
Next, Madam Toad cleared her throat and said, "Now let me introduce our guest for today." As she said this, a small, solid-black squirrel stepped out from behind the trunk of the silver fir.
