The Moon Princess: A Fairy Tale

Excerpt from The Moon Princess: A Fairy Tale

The wedding was SO brilliant that the skies grew bright as day, and the splendor was reflected for many miles across the heavens. When the ceremony was over, the bride, in Shining White and silver gar ments, came forth from the circle Of her bridesmaids to bid her mother farewell.

Long-limbed and graceful was this daughter Of the skies. Her finely cut features showed her high-bred race. Her blond hair hung in yellow masses to her knees, while her tender blue eyes, looking smilingly upon her mother's face, were radiant with happiness. Gliding swiftly forward she reached the throne, and there, sinking on her knees, she begged her mother's blessing.

Very tenderly the Queen watched her graceful child approach and kneel, and then leaning forward she raised her to her breast and showered caresses upon her.
