An ancient fairytale land is brought to life in this original story. When a young girl, Merryrose, sets out on an ordinary day across the River of Gold, events cause her to make a choice. Her unselfish act to save the life of the grumbly, grumpy, grouchy old man attracts the attention of the magical creatures of Casimiria, the Land of Wishes. When they place the Golden Key in her hands, unusual but important changes begin. All the while, in the classic tradition of story, the cunning forces of darkness conspire to threaten the good wishes.
With the exquisite line drawings of Gary Undercuffler and the graceful storytelling charm of Rosemarie Gulla, let the Wings of the Swan take you to lands of enchantment. Join with the fairies, the finest of wishes and the loveliness of a generous heart in the struggle to make the world a better place.
