Fairies in the Garden
A short story featured in Voices of the Future: Stories of Family and Fearlessness.
Mr. Sanders tends his garden with a careful hand, hoping to lure the fairies back who stole his daughter thirty years ago.
When he catches a pixie stuck in a spider’s web, he can finally put his plan into action. But convincing a fairy to bring his daughter home might prove even harder than it was to catch one, and with his failing health, he’s running out of time.
“I absolutely adore the combination of grumpy old man and fairies. Mr. Sanders, despite being fairly crotchety, is loveable in his own way. The entire story is warm and fuzzy, but touching on real themes and the power of just being there for your loved ones.”
