The Fairy Child J D Manders

When their father goes off to war and their mother falls ill,

Sarah and Lily are left to their own devices. Playing in their

yard, the girls are amazed to find real-life fairies at a miniature

marketplace under some bushes. But when Lily suddenly disappears with

the fairies, Sarah must follow her into the fairy's magical world. There,

Sarah and Lily learn that a young fairy prince has been kidnapped by an

evil elf witch. To rescue the fairy child, the children set out on a fabulous

quest that places them in the middle of a war against the witch and her

army of goblins. Along the way, they find some allies, fight many dangers,

and learn self-reliance and friendship. Written by a deployed U. S. soldier for

his children, the story demonstrates the strength of will of family members

left behind.
