Heart & Mind

by Chris Pavesic

This is a Short Story.

A princess with hair as golden as a sunflower and eyes as green as apples was blessed from birth to have beauty and power and to marry a prince on her eighteenth birthday. Unfortunately for all concerned, there is only one eligible prince in all of the kingdoms, and before he agrees to marry the princess, he wants a magical guarantee that she will look a certain way, talk a certain way, and even think only what he wants. What is a fairy godmother to do?

Sometimes a fairy godmother needs more than magic.

[Diane · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a nice short story. I enjoyed the interaction between the fairy godmother and her side-kick, a tiny fairy named Rose.

I liked seeing a fairy tale from the perspective of a fairy godmother in training. What do you do when you are faced with an ethical decision at your job? When the choices all seem to go against your values?

Short and entertaining.
