Timeless Tales review

By TT reviewer Patricia McGrewLeticia Warton is convinced that her mother's invitation to her Halloween fundraiser ball is just another way to get Tish to break up with her fiancé, Carl. Tish and Jilly, her business partner and best friend, go to several garage sales to assemble her costume of Fairy Godmother. A smelly, ragged, down on her luck godmother, equipped with a broken wand. Just the right costume to get revenge back at her mom for trying to stop her marriage to Carl. Marcus, one of the Border Guard of Faery, is sent to the middle-border to attend a human ball, where a human female seems to have gotten a wand that belonged to a deceased member of Faery. Not knowing the power or the rules of the wand, Marcus is to get the wand back before there is any trouble. But he doesn't act fast enough. After Tish realizes that the ball is for homeless women, she realizes that she has only embarrassed herself. As she runs out to the garden to escape, she sees a couple by the shrubs. When she looks closer, it is Carl, with his arms around another woman, kissing her for all he is worth. Tish gets so angry she says, "you sniveling, slobbering, slab-sided, slimy toad," the wand comes down and, in the next instant, her words come true. Before she can change the girl as well, Marcus, Tish and frog disappear in the fog. She wakes up in a dungeon awaiting trial for using magic without a license. The Godmother Sanction has everything; hilarity, tenderness, magic and love. Tish has to deal with Prince Charming, Cinderella, witches brew, magic mirrors, uglies, curses and magic for sale. The story is full of wit and whole new look on the fairy tale world. This is a keeper for me, I know that I will be taking it out and reading it again and again. Godmother Sanction is a delightful read, for everyone. Don't pass up this book just because the cover doesn't do it justice. I look forward to finding other novels by Patricia White.
