Features: A child's eyes are the greatest magic, able to see fairy-tale princes and princesses in the traces peeling off from the ceiling, and mysterious wizards from fallen pencil tips... Every child is a fairy tale, and every fairy tale is a small step in a child's growth. In every cloud-like fantasy story, in every fresh-as-rain text, and in every vibrant-as-a-rainbow illustration, there lies what every child cannot do without: pure friendship, a heart of adventure, busy happiness, and sweet happiness.
This book is one of the three long fairy tales in the "Lan Lan Fairy Tale Series" created by poet Lan Lan. It includes many of Lan Lan's original short fairy tales. Lan Lan's fairy tales express a profound understanding of nature and the spiritual world, far beyond the experience of children and ordinary people. Her fairy tales have a broad perspective and rational depth, reflecting the real-life dilemmas and human confusion from different aspects of life. These fairy tales not only find the truth of the heart for Lan Lan herself but also for all of us, helping us regain the ability to love. Fairy tales uphold the dignity of beautiful humanity while mocking and despising the powerful, the savage, and the autocratic—just as it was in the time of Hans Christian Andersen, and it remains so today.
