When I was little, I was writing a book. It was a wonderful book. It was about princesses and witches and there was romance and adventure. I told myself the story over and over again. When I was older I tried to actually write it down but by then some magical thread had been lost.
This book was everything that I ever wanted to write. The moment I opened it, I was sucked it. It begins with a very familiar story and leads into a world that is so wonderful and enchanting that it makes the book difficult to put down.
When Sleeping Beauty wakes from her slumber and finds herself in the arms of a charming prince, she decides that she must leave and live in his kingdom immediately, despite the fact that her kingdom will be without a ruler. The castle becomes a safe house for people who need it. We are moved on to Jain, a pregnant woman who is heading for the castle to have her baby. When she arrives, she is greeted by a cast of vivid, lovely, amusing characters who are more than happy to help deliver the baby. When the baby comes, it is green and has a tail and everybody loves him, even the house sprites who have mostly overrun the castle.
I give up. I cannot do this story justice. It has everything that I have ever wanted in a story: sprites, witches, romance, humor, and bearded ladies. I want to buy it so that I can read it over and over and over again.
