"Two fairy tales, within a book that might in itself be considered a fairy tale, the first titled: "The Magnificent Monkey and the Dangerous Detective Cross Swords with the Maleficent Magician", in which "For everywhere, round and about and up and down, were fairies. They hovered aloft upon dragonfly wings. They peeped from corners and balanced upon benches. Brownies and boggarts and bogles. Leprechauns, loireags, and lobs. Goblins and things that go bump in the night." And the second: "The Story of Skia, the Sky Whale, that begins the way fairy tales should, with "Once upon a time..."

"As a farce to the bard's "A Midsummer Night's Dream",
Moore's novel employs a retinue of fairies as characters. There is, of course, Puck, who is felled by a crossbow bolt; Titania, Queen of the Fairies; and also the fairies Cobweb, Peaseblossom, Fluffer-Nutter, Mustardseed, and Moth, whose antics enliven much of the book's plot. Literally hundreds of other fairies, unnamed, grace this narrative, and fairy magic is abundantly in
evidence.

"A power comes to Mandragon, who serves as its vessel, but is unable to contro it, In Mandragon's presence, the power, perhaps magical, perhaps sorcery, manifests itself by its own will, moving chesspieces on boards, levitating the wire-walker in Amichevole's Universal Circus to the roof of the big top, and reversing the roles of Zito and his trained circus bear such that
it is Zito riding the tricycle and the bear commanding Zito's performance with the whip.
Koster's novel is filled with demonstrations of Mandragon's rogue power.
