Three playful turns on fairy-tale endings

This volume gathers three tales—“Cinderellis and the Glass Hill,” “For Biddle’s Sake,” and “The Fairy’s Return”—in a shared world of fairies, magic, princesses, and enchantment. Its story setups put familiar fairy-tale roles in unexpected positions: a farm boy hopes to win a princess, a fairy’s transformation leaves her facing a problem of her own, and a helpful fairy confronts a king’s stubborn law. The collection’s central pleasure is in those reversals, including a princess who saves the day and princes tasked with kissing toads. Together, the stories offer several distinct routes toward a happily-ever-after.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in fairy tales and folklore.
  • Readers who enjoy magical stories involving princesses, fairies, and unexpected role reversals.
  • Those looking for a collection of three related fairy-tale stories.

Book overview

In a land far, far away . . .

A boy with magical powers to win Princess Charming's heart. A fairy who likes turning humans into toads. A true love forbidden by the King.

A world of fairies and magic -- what could be more perfect than that? But is it perfect enough to help a simple farm boy marry a beautiful princess? And if an unruly fairy turns a maiden into a toad, how does she turn herself back? And can a fairy -- even a helpful one -- change a stubborn king's law?

Welcome to a land where Princess Charming saves the day, the prince must kiss the toads, and nothing is as it seems!

Now in one volume, three hilarious chances at happily-ever-after from the Newbery Honor author of Ella Enchanted:

Cinderellis and the Glass Hill
For Biddle's Sake
The Fairy's Return
