A collection of wonderful fairy tales which tell stories in the imaginary kingdom of the Lady Dora and the Knight King. "What the boy needs is a quest" decides the wise Lady Dora when her son has made a grave error. And a quest is just what can be found in these tales, between a knight giving chase to a magical stag, a giant who won’t stop throwing things, a fool who must seek his fortune, and the talking beast that despises him. There are noble heroes as well as silly ones, and heroines that are as brave as they are good.

There are secrets in ancient woods, dragons in the mountains, and babies with large, knowing eyes. And, of course, a little red mushroom that is a little too full of itself. This book is a delightful romp to the time when wishes were granted and there was always some magic in the air. Some stories are playful, others are grave, but all of them rejoice in the abundance of grace that comes from good conquering evil and the deepest Love washing over all. They provide a source of delight for all ages, adults and children.

“These delightful stories are a great surprise, and will go a long way toward restoring the true enchantment of faerie. So deftly crafted, rich in whimsical humor, fresh imagination, and an underlying wisdom that readers may well marvel.”      
—Michael O’Brien, Author, Father Elijah

“Sprightly fairy tales that take readers on a rollicking exploration of an unknown kingdom within the vast realm of Faerie. Fitzpatrick's quirky brand of humor mixed with generous doses of joy and bracing twists of adventure should be dispensed at bedtime, or any other time of day, to readers of all ages.”
—E.P. Cowley, Author, Tales from Wakken Wood

“Fairytales that will appeal to grown-ups as much as to children. Witty, wise, and compelling, these stories are steeped in folk-tale tradition, but are startlingly fresh.

—Sally Read, Author, Night’s Bright Darkness
