ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 270 In this 270th issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the story of “THE FAIRY GARDENS.” ONCE upon a time, long, long ago and far, far away, there lived a man called Kostas. Uncle Kostas, as everyone called him, had once been a prisoner of the fairies. He would sit stiffly down upon a stone and lean upon the tall, shepherd's staff which he always carried, to recount his story. His story goes that one day he was resting at noon beside a spring under the shadow of a pine in one of the Dragonorahes, Dragon Hills, after eating his bread and cheese. He closed his eyes for a little while and when he opened them, there were fairies dancing all around him in the air. He knew that he was handsome, handsome enough to tempt them to carry him away, but since he had his gun with him he thought himself safe. Some of the fairies were singing, others were playing their flutes, and all would pause now and then to ask Kostas to play his flute and dance with them. Pointing to his gun, he shook his head and even though they were angry they dared not harm him. Suddenly the music and the dancing ceased. The fairies whispered together a moment and then disappeared like a cob web that is brushed away. Kostas was about to go back to his sheep, grazing lower down on the hillside, but he was unable to move, even to stretch out his hand. Then the fairies were back again and this time their queen was with them, riding on a great white horse. Around her were a thousand fairies on white horses and others kept coming and coming until the Dragonorahe was covered with them. Kostas tried to stand up, he tried to reach his gun, but he could do nothing except gaze at the beautiful queen, with her shining, silken hair and her shimmering white garments, as she sat upon her proud horse. There was a great murmuring around him. After a while he understood that all the fairies were talking about him. "Does he please you?" one asked the queen. "Will you have him?" asked another. The queen looked down at him thoughtfully for a long time. Then she smiled, lifted her wand and cried, "I shall have him! He is beautiful! Let us bring him with us!" And so Kostas’ journey to the land of the fairies began. But how long did old Uncle Kostas live with the fairies and how did he escape from the clutches of the fairy queen?

Herein you will find 12 illustrated stories of the myths and tales of modern Greece. In this volume you will find the Grecian tales of: The Fairy-Hunter Fairy Gardens The Fairy Wife Fairies Of The Waterfall The Fairy Comb A Fairy Wedding The Fairy Ring The Fairies’ Theft The Haunted Ship The Wonder Of Skoupa The First Of May The Fairy Mother In every country there is a place where good wishes come true: where the poor and the lonely are rich in castles and friends: and where sorrowful folk are happy. Here you will hear the birds singing and children laughing, all day long. The trees are full of blossoms and fruit. The sky is always blue, the grass green and soft. Under the trees dwell the fairies, and against the blue sky you will sometimes see the sheen of angels’ wings as the flit by. It is from this place that these children’s stories originate. But beware, some, a few, of these stories also contain sadness. Why? Because these stories are used to teach children the lessons of life, albeit in a more gentle way. So, we invite you to curl up with this unique sliver of Greek Fairy culture not seen in print for over a century; and immerse yourself in the tales and fables of yesteryear made more believable by the 41 pen and ink illustrations by Henriette Reiss. ---------------------------- KEYWORDS-TAGS: Greece, Greek, fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, childrens, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, fables, Fairy Hunter, Fairy Gardens, Fairy Wife, Fairies Of The Waterfall, Fairy Comb, Fairy Wedding, Fairy Ring, Fairies’ Theft, Haunted Ship, Wonder Of Skoupa, First Of May, Fairy Mother

Winter (1888 – 1956) was best-loved for his animal drawings, and was among the artists working in the later stages of the ‘Golden Age’. His work can be identified from its masterful accuracy, humorous touches, personality, and attention to detail. Winter produced artwork for such well-known tales as Aesop’s Fables, Arabian Nights, Alice in Wonderland, and Gulliver’s Tales.

A bit of the Sky fell down one day; It touched a Star and glanced away; A spark from the Star in its breast it bore, And fell to the earth, and was no more. Up sprang from the grass a tiny flower That brightly grew ‘neath sun and shower:- The bit of the Sky in its petals blue, The spark from the Star in its bodom, too. The Star gazed down at its happy lot, And whispered, ‘Dear, forget-me-not!’

The myths of ancient Greece hold world-wide acclaim. The myths of the Byzantine and medieval times, however, as well as the ones of the last few centuries, remain relatively unknown. With this publication, Greek Myths Editions aim to acquaint the English speaking reader with the Greek fairy tales which have appeared in the broader region of Greece from ancient times till now. Babis Pylarinos' exemplary illustrations, influenced by the Byzantine, medieval and naif tradition help children to become acquainted not only with the world of myths itself but with the history of Greek painting over the last two thousand years as well. In this first volume, Goldhair dreams of becoming Queen, while the King dreams of battles; Goldhair dreams of young princes, but despises evil mother-in-laws. A fairy tale about the true fairies of the world: Love, trust, devotion, beauty and fertility. A fairy tale in which, apart from the King's marriage to the Queen, central to the plot are the importance of retaining a sense of decency (despite poverty), and the struggle against evil and deception.
