Elizabeth’s sixteenth birthday was fast approaching and for the daughter of the King and Queen of Elnara, kingdom of the fairies and elves, that meant that she would have to attempt the magical transformation that would change her from Lady Elizabeth into Princess Elizabeth, the Fairy Princess of Elnara and the most powerful fairy alive. As if that isn’t enough, Elizabeth discovers she is expected to select her future husband, the future king of Elnara, from amongst the eligible young lords attending her birthday celebration. During the celebration, she meets Lord Edric, from remote Castle North, who has more on his mind then just meeting the enchanting Fairy Princess. Put off at first by his casual, unorthodox personality, Elizabeth finds herself drawn to the charming, handsome Lord Edric. The pair is soon plunged into a mystery that will take them over the great mountains to the north and beyond, braving deadly dragons and more. Nevertheless, they must find the answers they seek no matter what the risk, or the Fairy race will be doomed to extinction.

Winner of the National Book Award and National Book Critics Circle Award "A charming book about enchantment, a profound book about fairy tales."—John Updike, The New York Times Book Review Bruno Bettelheim was one of the great child psychologists of the twentieth century and perhaps none of his books has been more influential than this revelatory study of fairy tales and their universal importance in understanding childhood development. Analyzing a wide range of traditional stories, from the tales of Sindbad to “The Three Little Pigs,” “Hansel and Gretel,” and “The Sleeping Beauty,” Bettelheim shows how the fantastical, sometimes cruel, but always deeply significant narrative strands of the classic fairy tales can aid in our greatest human task, that of finding meaning for one’s life.
