There was once a fairy story told in The Magic Land of Pheasant Hill, about two sisters that were destined to be Fairy God Mothers. The two sisters were sent to Earth as punishment for breaking fairy code. Luzinda and Zavela were very close sisters, who could not wait to become fairy god mothers. Luzinda was focused on becoming the most incredible fairy god mother that had ever existed; a god mother that would be written about in all the fairy stories. Zavela, even though she wanted to become a god mother as well, she also longed for a life outside of The Magic Land of Pheasant Hill. Both sisters were attending fairy school, when Zavela committed the biggest betrayal of fairy code. For their indiscretions the Fairy Council banished both sisters to Earth. The sisters were warned not to use their powers, not to disclose their status as fairies, and most importantly they were forbidden from falling in love with a human. The sisters crossed many roads on the way to redemption, where they both were able to choose their own true destiny.

What quicker way to get a meal, so he thinks, not realizing that observant Cousin Monkey has watched his every move. What happens next surprises Jackal Buzzard and the reader with a heartfelt lesson woven into the lyrical prose of Mrs. Dasent's delightful retelling.
