Sweet Ladies! and A Drowned Maiden's Hair-creates a magnificent tale about a tiny night fairy who loses her wings and can no longer fly. As Flory the fledgling fairy soars through the dark sky, a ravenous bat bites off her wings. Injured yet determined to live, she's willing to do what it takes to survive-even if it means befriending a hungry squirrel and becoming a day fairy.
