About This Book

A fairy play follows a captured princess whose brother has been transformed into a dog by a witch and an ogre. A godmother and a loyal knight pursue enchanted aids, including a quest for the South Wind's silver flute and the summoning of fairies, while the princess spins Love's golden thread on a magic wheel. The fairies use the thread to bind the villains, freeing the prince and reuniting the royal family, with songs, choruses, and theatrical pageantry punctuating scenes of rescue, enchantment, and the reversal of spells.
