"What could be the matter? Had the fairies all gone away . . . were the doors of Fairyland all locked? Where, where, where were all the new stories -- and why, why, why didn't people write them?"

These were the questions young Henry asked himself, having exhausted all the libraries and bookstores in his search for evermore fairy tales to read -- so delighted was he by their wonder, magic and airy improbabilities.

Yet the answer to these beseeching questions would come from the very pen of this famous American naturalist and writer, Henry Beston . . . in the form of such wonderful jaunts into mystic and transformed lands as "The Queen of Lantern Land, "The City Under the Sea," and "Prince Sneeze" -- about a royal lad whose troublesome nose threatens disaster!

"So Savenius is more powerful than Amenek-Ra?" "Oh yes," said Billy flat. "As Justin said, he is the Prince of gods." "Prince of gods," repeated Christian. "Prince of the Universe." He turned to Kalif. "Which one is more powerful?" General Falcon woke up from his blank daze. "That brings us to the Destiny of the Mythaeon. For it is his task to fight and destroy Savenius." The two boys from Earth turned to Justin, who answered their unspoken question. "These words came into existence after Lord Celonce and Savenius had vanished. It was joined to the Promise of the Mythaeon, saying: There will be a boy one day, who will rule the Realm in the Savus as the Prince of the Universe." Philip and Christian turned at the same time to Kalif. He did not feel like smiling, but did it anyway. "Nice future, don't you think?" "Great," said Christian sarcastic. "Don't you have a say in what you want to do? Aren't you afarid?" asked Philip. Kalif wanted to laugh, but did not make it. "That is the wonderful thing about destiny. My feelings towards everything have hardly any meaning, but they are far beyond fear."

Trembling, once more Garrison turned the key, and the box opened. All that he found within was a stack of old papers, a ring, an old piece of flint and a candle... He looked at the ring, and it was plain but for a single four-pointed star and crescent moon emblazoned upon it. He then turned his candle to the stack of papers, and saw etched upon their cover-sheet his father's rose insignia. Trembling, mind now years and distances away from this place, within the dancing candlelight, he began to read... "My dearest Perrion, ...how grey it always seems here as if nothing moves. It seems as if this silly job I've taken with the circus, with the bears is, but for thoughts of you, my only joy. Oh I'm sorry for this... Forgive me, mine love, and accept this: it is my ring and signet. I shall not be going back, ever, and so I give it, too, along with mine heart, to you." In "Winter Dreams," author B. Charles Price tells a tale of the reality beyond the fantasy through a beautiful depiction of the illusion.
