FAIRYTALES

These stories do not contain witchcraft,
wizards or black magic. They are simply imaginative. The main
characters are a blue fairy named Serena and a brown elf named Julius.
There are lessons to be learned in the actions of the characters. Hopefully
children who read these stories will absorb those lessons. They are written for
girls from ages eight to thirteen. Some older teens and women have also enjoyed reading them.
