About the Book

This story which was inspired by long walks in the Boston Public Garden by the author, relates an imaginary tale of a magical nymph who arrives in the BPG to surprisingly find that other magical creatures exist. In the course of eavesdropping on a conversation, Morning Starr decides to try out her somewhat vague magical powers to grant a wish - and the adventures start there.
