Philomene Isolde has been lonely little girl since the death of her mother. More often than not her father, a hard working doctor, calls her “Little Miss Muffet.” One day she is out in the garden playing make-believe. She aimlessly picked a dandelion and started to daydream about the times when she and her mother used to play “tell the time” when a voice beside her said “If you would be so good to tell me the right time.” Startled she dropped her “clock” and the little man in a vivid green suit picked it up and blew on it. “Five ‘o Clock” he said. Then out of his waistcoat pocket he took a key, which he fitted into the key-hole in the wall. A little stone door swung outwards in the wall, and the mannikin hesitated upon the threshold. “All things considered,” he remarked slowly, “and especially the green ribbons, I think I may do myself the pleasure of asking you to step in.” ……and so begins the adventures of Philomene in Fairyland. A place where she meets Sweet William, Master Mustardseed, Mermaids and Mermen, the Twin-Sisters and Queen Mab the cat. But what are all her adventures and experiences for? Well, you’ll have to download this story and find out for yourself. Or, if you’re too young to read, you’ll have to ask your mother or father to download it and read it to you at bedtime. 10% of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated to charities. ================= KEYWORDS/TABS – The Fairy Latchkey, fairy tales, folklore, children’s stories, myths and legends, fables, Mother, Father, cat, lonely, heroine, godmother, key-hole, wall, latchkey, sweet William, distinguish, advice, master, mustardseed, birthday, letter, introduction, present, good fortune, merman, storyteller, twin sisters, startling news, scene, sick-room, queen mab, make friends, white létiche, herald, change, little man, vivid green suit, elf, riding, lizard, baby, kiss, live, underwater, werewolf, witch, bedside, small figurine, Speedwell, Spirea, Cushats,

Joining the emergent interdisciplinary investment in bridging the social sciences and the humanities, Childhood, Agency, and Fantasy: Walking in Other Worlds explores linkages between children’s agency and fantasy. Fantasy as an integral aspect of childhood and as a genre allows for children’s spectacular dreams and hopeful realities. Friendship, family, identity, loyalty, belongingness, citizenry, and emotionality are central concepts explored in chapters that are anchored by humanities texts of television, film, and literature, but also by social science qualitative methods of participant observation and interviews. Fantasy has the capacity to be a revolutionary change agent that in its modernity can creatively reflect, critique, or reimagine the social, political, and cultural norms of our world. Such promise is also found to be true of children’s agency, wherein children’s beings and becomings, rooted in childhood’s freedoms and constraints, result in a range of outcomes. In the endeavor to broaden theory and research on children’s agency, fantasy becomes a point of possibility with its expanding subjectivities, far-reaching terrain, and spirit of adventure.

Katie Welker is used to being alone. She would rather read a book than deal with other people. Other people don’t have silver eyes. Other people can’t make things happen just by thinking about them! But these special powers make Katie unusual, and it’s hard to make friends when you’re unusual. Katie knows that she’s different but she’s never done anything to hurt anyone so why is everyone afraid of her? Maybe there are other kids out there who have the same silver eyes…and the same talents…and maybe they’ll be willing to help her.
