Fairy Book

Little Prudy is a bright‑eyed girl whose summer in Indiana is spoiled by relentless mosquito bites. Her discomfort becomes the spark for a heartfelt plan: her caring aunt Grace, along with cousin Cassy, decides to gather a treasure trove of fairy tales to lift Prudy’s spirits. The family’s lively banter, set against the backdrop of a bustling household, hints at a world where ordinary moments give way to wonder.

Grace proposes to collect stories about genii, sprites, and other magical beings—tales that have delighted other children when they’re feeling under the weather. With promises of gold‑edged paper and whispered legends, the children’s curiosity is awakened, and the notion of a shared storybook begins to take shape. Listeners will be drawn into the gentle humor and warm affection that frame the first act of this charming collection, where imagination becomes the best remedy for everyday woes.
