    About this ebook

    The fairy stories began with fairy gardens in my backyard.

    The author C.S. Lewis and his brother wrote fictional stories about elves and fairies, and we all loved them.

    I love the Warwick Goble illustrations C.S. Lewis mentions. We all search for a purpose in our life, and so do the fairies in my stories.

    Jamie Willard

    When I began writing fairy stories, I had my friends children read them, and they seemed delighted. The children even gave me ideas to make the stories better. After writing medical articles this was so much fun. I live in northern Illinois. I am a retired data base manager. My grandchildren are now in college. I see the stories everywhere and hope you enjoy them too.

      One day while looking out my kitchen window, I saw an old bird house needing repair. The story about the Great Bird War of 1965 came to mind.

      I had to sit down and write it. That was the beginning of my journey into fantasy writing.

      WHEN FAIRIES FIRST MET DWARFS

      elfs.jpg

      Our story starts many centuries ago when Russia and North America were connected by a land bridge. Some say the American Indians originated from the people crossing the land bridge and populating North America. Many fables and stories about fairies and dwarfs were carried over the land bridge by the Russian people. The story of Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs is a fairy tale by The Brothers Grimm.
