Fairy Tales Can Come True: The Beginning
A book review
Inside Linda Gunn's book "Fairy Tales Can Come True: The Beginning" is a child's rich imagination of her own world of fairy tales. It takes the readers back to that same age when they've got the same creative mind. Such innocence makes anyone wish they could protect their childhood. It takes us back to that nostalgic feeling we miss, which asks, "Where did that part of myself go?"
The story is mainly from Nina's, the main character's, point of view. It takes place during the childhood years, when their eldest sister, Marie, is already entering adolescence, while their youngest sister, unaware of the change, remains the annoying but cute little sister. Nina, on the other hand, cannot seem to understand why their eldest sister needs to change, since they used to be three sisters playing together, sharing the same imagination. Nina always has her mind giving out reasons and scenarios for everything that happens to her and her family. Usually, she enters another world whenever she's alone and her dream to be Peter Pan's "next Wendy" comes alive.
Linda S. Gunn is a recognized fine artist. It won't be a surprise that her book is supported by enticing illustrations. Young readers would surely be enthralled.
In the book, Nina says that she knows in her heart that sometimes the imagination can be true. Many will agree. Even Walt Disney once said, "Whatever your mind can conceive, your body can achieve." The law of attraction also states that one's thoughts determine one's reality. This optimism is just one of many things a reader can potentially take away from the story.
I can imagine every part of the story. The place, their actions and emotions are explicit. Every conversation is real. Nina's point of view takes you back to when you were at her age. I can totally see myself in her story. Talking to any animal, investigating things, looking for hidden treasures, singing made-up songs, and even that part wherein Nina's curiosity gets the best of her. Anyone who has watched the Peter Pan movie would realize that Nina seems to be becoming more like Wendy. How she tells her sister stories just like Wendy, and when she meets the little boy who sounds like Peter Pan,
Childhood memories. "Fairy Tales Can Come True: The Beginning" keeps them alive. When Linda said, "I want to share these events from my childhood with others who secretly believe in their happiest dreams, because there are times in life when the imagined really does become reality." She's saying that this is for all of you who have ambitions. She wants to inspire all those youthful aspirations to go bigger. Go forth and pursue your dreams!
Interesting. Inspirational Authentic. Linda Gunn's book "Fairy Tales Can Come True: The Beginning" is 5 stars out of 5 for me. You should read it as well!
