Heather and the Basket of Understanding
eBook
On their Christmas break, Heather and her friends meet an old woman who is responsible for making the Basket of Understanding, which is the source of all understanding on earth. Without the basket, caring and kindness would not exist. But the old woman has to continually work on the basket. If she ever stops, all understanding will be lost to mankind. Similarly, an old man, who is a friend to the old woman, must constantly weave the Blanket of Comfort, which produces security and ease for all creatures of the earth. The fairies must try to find a way for the woman and man to finish their endless tasks. For this purpose, they seek out a matchbox genie. During their adventure, the fairies also discover how sphiloxes, elf fairies of light, are born.
