    • 4/5
      Very short. Cute stories with a moral.
    • 3/5
      Fairies that deal with the issues of war; they try to bring joy and peace wherever they can and in doing so become better, smarter, and more beautiful fairies.This story covers the devastation of war on the mere surface. It doesn't go into every detail but in the description given by the fairies you get a sense of the depression, and sorrow going on at the time.This story can be used to accompany discussions of the effects of war on the population.

    Come then, said Wonderwings. She took the little fairy's hand and up they rose into the clear air.

    Wonderwings

    Poppypink sat up in bed and yawned. Why is everybody getting up so early? she asked. Is it a holiday?

    The older fairies were dressing themselves and brushing their long fine hair. Wonderwings is coming to see us, they said. Jump up, little Poppypink.

    Who is Wonderwings? she asked.

    You will see when you are dressed. Hurry, or you will miss her.

    The older fairies were dressing themselves and combing their long fine hair.

    Oh dear! I am so sleepy, said Poppypink, and she yawned again. I don't care about Wonderwings. She snuggled down into the bedclothes again, and went to sleep.

    Presently she was awakened by the sound of the sweetest singing she had ever heard, and a flash of brilliant colour went past her window pane of crystal set in pearl.

    That must be Wonderwings, she said. Oh, I must see her. I hope I am not too late.

    She sprang from bed and dressed so hurriedly that I am afraid her hair
