[Nathan Dehoff · Rating 3 out of 5]

L. Frank Baum, my favorite author, had wanted to collaborate with Harrison in a stage musical adaptation of this book, but thanks to the Iroquois Theater Fire of 1903 it never happened. The book itself is a short collection of fairy tales, pretty slight and not all that memorable. I mean, I just read them and I’ve already forgotten most of them. The titular story is about a fairy who is allowed to marry his queen after performing a good deed. There’s also a tale about the origin of mermaids, and one about the Man in the Moon marrying a cloud maiden.
