Whatta delightful tale, what dear mem'ries of yer creative story-tellin' sister! As a kid--AND later!--I wuz rapt with the same kinda tale (we had story books--tales from many lands , mostly 19th c or early 20th "retellin's" with the breathtakin' illustrations such as by Walter Krane & Arthur Rackham--2've mah faves) but I wuz never zo lucky to have mah own in-house personal story-teller let alone a castle settin' "for reals!" How nifty! (I do story-tellin' m'self...'er used to lol...an' I think it's b/c of that feelin'--same one you describe--of believin' it's all real while yer hearin'/readin' it'tellin' it!)
Enjoy yer Thanksgiving with yer lovely fam (hope it's just as dear as those ya so charmin'ly illustrated with Rumpoles & Barleys!)
What a lovely memory and a lovely tale. I lived in Lugano for 3 years in ‘69-‘71, and your forest fairy story makes me think of those days. As a child, my dad introduced me to “belly botany”, the practice of laying on your belly, looking at the miniature world before your eyes. In my heart of hearts, I believed that fairies inhabited that world. Still, some warm summer nights, when all you hear is the chirping of the insects and the fireflies are twinkling, I can envision the fairies dancing! Yes, I’m hardened by the world we now live in, and I’m a tough old broad, but a part of me deep inside still would like to believe that fairies and sprites are real!
Happy Thanksgiving to you too! I enjoy your writings so much. My mother has been studying “the end times” my whole life. She is almost 87 and she thinks that a lot of prophecy is being fulfilled right now.
Thank you. Interesting about your mother! She sounds like my upbringing in the Plymouth Brethren. I get chills sometimes watching events unfold now that I learned about as a child.

Long ago. I was gifted a very nice old edition of a book of Arthur Rackham paintings. Loved his work and it much inspired me.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Stay strong and tall and continue to educate us through all your experiences🥂
Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you! 🙏

Lugano is beautiful! That spirit never leaves us.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful childhood "fairy" tale. Your sister had a splendid imagination.
She surely did. 🩵
May her memory always be a blessing.
How magical and delightful!! I’m so sorry that you had to say goodbye to your sister!
Such is life. 🩵

Happy Thanksgiving
