Today I'm sharing a lovely children's story, Secret of the Ron Mor Skerry, by Rosalie K. Fry. It is a sweet family story set against the background of Scotland's Western Isles. The book is full of mystery, enchanting storytelling, and a hint of mythological creatures and is the perfect antidote for a case of wanderlust.

Today I'm sharing my thoughts on Hans Christian Anderson's The Snow Queen. The Snow Queen is a personal favorite of his stories. Like all good fairy tales, it reminds us that redemption is not far away.

In today's episode, I'm talking about The Awakening of Miss Prim by Natalia Sanmartin Fenellora. It is a rich and beautiful modern fairy tale of one woman's journey to faith. The Awakening of Miss Prim delighted me with its wit, charm, truth, and beauty from the first page to the last. It is now a much loved favorite book.

While there, she discovers a family curse and an ancient feud with a neighboring family. Is Maria the one prophesied to end the curse?
