The Lost Story

by Meg Shaffer

Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. —C. S. Lewis

The Nobody Queen By Shannon K. Yates Once upon a time, in a world unseen. A nobody girl became the queen Of a land of magic so wild and airy Full of giants and tigers, ghosts and fairies Wizards and wolves, battles and glories Told in unicorn songs and old crow stories. Fierce girls with swords and princes and knights Went on brave quests, turned wrongs into rights. They searched for a princess. At last, she was found. The loneliest princess, lost and then crowned. So that’s the whole truth and most of the lore Of the nobody queen, nobody no more.

Joy is quieter than people think it is. Especially the joy of getting back something you thought was lost forever.”
