The Crooked Villiage.

by Ilse  Karla Margit de Groot


Abstract.
A  moral childrens fairy story with fairies, giants, small people, minor and major disasters, relationship issues, metamorphosis and happy endings.



A very, very  long time ago  my mother aspired to be a writer, and write she did. Rejections slips  were the order of the day. Some of them were not rejection slips, but eventually her enthusiasm  abated and she went on the other things.

This fairy story was written, dedicated to her children, at a time when I was a tiny boy. It was a time when Enid Blyton was read to little children, before Political Correctness put paid to that. It was a time when the only stories deemed appropriate for little children were about fairies, fluffy bunnies and enchanted animals.  I think I know why. World War Two was still a fresh and for too many, a horrific memory  and I think many childrens'  authors wrote for their own sanity and also keeping children amused . These little characters aspire to be good, some are not so good but they all learn to keep to the right path.

This little story  is very much in the style of Enid Blyton, it is very correct and very proper and very appropriate for little children.  Be my guest,  and read it to them  before bedtime in smaller, bite size chunks. They will forget these tales , but they will  never forget this  time  you shared with them.
