Delightful! I'm hooked.

It all began with "A Sprinkle of Fairy Dust" and "Emerald Enchantment" each book having four short stories. In these books is Marylyle Rogers' story "Fairy Dreams" and "The Fairy's Tale" where she introduces us to Lissan, the sister of King Comlan, of the Tuatha de Danann fairy realm. Lissan has fallen in love with a human in this story and has been given permission to give up her powers to join her human love. In giving up her powers to the earth, she leaves an eternal fairy ring of flowers.In "Once Upon A Time" our Amethyst (Amy) has long heard from her ditsy, yet oh so beloved aunt, to stay away from the flower ring, but Amy longs to sit within the ring to draw. One day, as she draws the countryside, she believes she has fallen asleep and has been whisked away to the fairy land of King Comlan to dance with him and his people in a land more beautiful than any she could ever imagine. But was it a dream?And then when her aunt introduces her to her friend Comlan, who is the image of her dream man, she begin to question her sanity.(It seems her aunt is more involved with the fairy people than first we thought!)This is a wonderful story as Amy struggles with family in England who stiffly want her to marry a man who repulses her and an aunt in Ireland who hints of a better life with this Comlan with whom she is falling in love.And things just get better because as this story seems to end, it continues with the books "Happily Ever After" and "Long Ago And Far Away".Marylyle Rogers delivers one of the best magical love stories that I have ever read, and I think that I've read almost all of them now. These people of the Tuatha de Denann will leave you wanting more. They are a wonderous clan. These stories are strong and true and not easily forgotten.You will be enchanted.
