Books with title Seriously Serious: A Fairy Tale

Douglas Thornton’s debut book, A Fairy’s Tale, takes readers on a magical ride through beloved, and unfamiliar fairy tales. Why do bad things happen in fairy tales? Are fairies really wicked if they do bad things? Is there a reason helpless humans endure arduous journeys before getting their happily ever after? If we call them fairy tales why do the fairies play such minor roles? Or do they? A Fairy’s Tale explores these ideas through Viola’s eyes.Viola is the firstborn fairy of the season and very different from her twin sister Chrysanthis. Where Chrysanthis is outgoing and popular, Viola is quiet and solitary. While Chrysanthis is given the role of a Fairy Godmother, Viola is made the Enchantress.It isn’t until Viola is sent out on her first assignment that everything becomes very clear; being the Enchantress is dreadful. Unlike Chrysanthis who makes dreams come true, Viola dispatches nightmares. Her jobs in the Human Realm involve curses, or terrible gifts meant to harm, or hardships to unsuspecting humans. Viola grows resentful of doing the Fairy Council’s dirty work. Thus, she decides to run away from the Fairy Kingdom, leaving behind her role, her responsibilities and her sister. But running away sets into motion a series of unexpected events that help Viola better understand that there is more to being the Enchantress than she originally thought.

Deep within Animal's Kingdom there is a grove of overgrown mushrooms which are inhabited by magical flying creatures. Pixie's Dust has a colony of human like beings that live in unison with the land and wildlife that surrounds their homes. Each fairy has a unique gift that makes them important to their existence. Some can grow fruits, vegetables and even cook better than the others. The story although fully involves the whole colony, focuses on the youngest fairy that has a hard time proving that even at a young age she is important too. Willa, short for Willow, teams up with a near extinct animal who is named Bloom. Bloom is a hutia which is similar to a chipmunk but a little larger. The friendship blossoms and after only a few hours together they feel as though they have a bond that cannot be broken. Something destroys part of the kingdom and the duo teams up with a "Giant Walker" which is a young boy that is part of a tribe. The Eye Stars are a protector of all wildlife but they may have more than they can handle with the evil woman who thinks she should own all the flowers and beauty that Animal Kingdom holds. They have to find a way to convince her that she can enjoy the flowers and exotic plants without killing them. Sharing nature while preserving it is the important lesson she must learn.
