The Astrologer's Niece: and other magical stories

This whimsical collection of magical stories begins with The Spelling-Match. A cast of quirky mythical characters compete for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but tricky double meanings and a play on words keep the contestants from the correct spell.

Using the magic of The Four-Leaved Clover, Princess Cyrilla plans to take back her kingdom from her wicked uncle. The fairies are there to give Cyrilla the confidence she needs to accomplish the task.

In The Dragon's Story, all the young dragons want Mama to tell a story, but not one where the dragon gets hurt. So Mama tells a Man Story from the perspective of the dragon. Don't worry - it ends happily - for the dragon!

What can the Astrologer do when he adopts his orphaned niece? It never occurs to him to lock up his magic books. Soon The Astrologer's Niece is working more spells, charms, enchantments, and transformations than the Astrologer has time to disentangle.

Finally in The Astrologer's Niece Marries, when the Astrologer's niece has graduated from school, he hopes for a quiet year or two, but the niece has other plans! She sets out to seek her fortune, and of course the Astrologer comes too.
