Customer Reviews

Worth Five Stars!

I am so grateful I found this book, if nothing else, for Marylyle Rogers' story "Fairy Dreams". It relates to the stories she begins in "Emerald Enchantment" (a collection of short stories) and her's is "The Fairie's Tale" which begins these stories of King Comlan's clan, of the fairy realm Tuatha de Danann. I have since read the continuing stories of this marvelous clan in "Once Upon A Time" "Happily Ever After" and the final story in "Long Ago and Far Away." I am sure that by the time you are done, you will be so in love with this family of the Tuatha that you will be so happy that you, too, bought this book that began it all.Now, not to forget the other stories in this book, as they, too, are marvelous. I truly loved the story "Magic and Mahem" and the tiny Irish Sprite, Misty Dawn, sent to protect her mistress in the new land.... well, unbeknown to her people back in her Irish homeland. Misty just wanted some excitement and when Shawna was sent to live in the new land, well, what a perfect chance, but to stowe away in her pocket.Equally cute is the story "Ever True." Never underestimate the power of your assistant for he/she might just be a fairy!"Fairies Make Wishes, Too" - what a marvelous story of a young fairy in love with a mortal she watches below her fairie realm. She grieves for the love she'll never know except in his dreams.When the Queen Fairie forbids young Enya to visit the mortal world she falls victim to the temptations of an offer by an ugly troll who gives her 3 days to win the love of her dream man or loose her life. The catch? She can't tell him that she's his dream lover or that she'll die in 3 days if he doesn't profess his love to her by then. What's a girl to do?Anyway, I love this book! I hope you will, too.

Sheer Magic

I have always loved fairy tales and always will. This book was sheer magic to me-especially the tale by Marylyle Rogers. I am her biggest fan and have never been disappointed in any of her stories. All her books are very collectible.

Bevarly sparkles amid the dullness of her company.

I'm not generally a reader of romance, and three of the four stories in this book confirmed my bias. But Elizabeth Bevarly's novella sparkles with wit and inventiveness, and the book is well worth the price of purchase for her story alone
