Synopsis
This is the extraordinary story of a very nearly ordinary princess named Alicia. Given a magic fish-bone by a good fairy, Alicia can have whatever she wishes-provided she wishes for it at the right time. But it's never clear when the right time is, and sometimes the best magic is no magic at all.... Perfectly matched by Robert Florczak's spectacular illustrations, this funny and unexpectedly touching tale reveals a Victorian world that existed nowhere but in the mind of a child.

About Red Owl Books
I specialize in hand-picked, children's used books. Children's books have always been my passion. Stories about Family Values; Inner Strength & Peace; our Earth Mother & her Creatures; Legends & Folklore of all kinds are a sample of the types of books I want to share. Many adults (including me), need these stories as much as our children do. Touched by the illustrators' beautiful work, the author's heartfelt words- I gather the books that move me and offer them to you.
