Wonderwings and Other Fairy Stories

Edith Howes

1805

Children & Young Adult Reading, Short Stories

Three tender fairy tales from 1905 that pulse with old-fashioned wonder. In "Wonderwings," the small fairy Poppypink discovers that selfless acts toward humans transform her colorless wings into something magnificent. "The Magic Mirror" follows a queen who must learn her people's lives before she can wisely lead them. And "Fairy Tenderheart" watches a grief-stricken fairy plant seeds of love among children, hoping to heal a world torn by conflict. These aren't tales of grand quests or dark forests. They dwell in the quiet magic of compassion, the radical notion that understanding others makes us better rulers, better beings. Howes writes with a lightness of touch that feels like morning light through curtains. For readers who believe in small magics and the transformative power of kindness.
