Hello Enchanted Friends:
Welcome to the Spring/Summer 2024, issue of The Fairy Tale Magazine, “Flights of Fancy.”
If you are a recent fan, then you may not know that for over 15 years, in both the Enchanted Conversation and FTM iterations, we published directly on the site, and did not do PDF versions or sell subscriptions. We only experimented with that in 2023. So we are returning to our roots with this wonderful issue!
This issue is packed with emotion, magic and old stories filled with new details and new points of view. I’m proud of how it has turned out. You’ll see terrific stories and poems inspired by “Jack and the Beanstalk,” “The Lady of Shallot,” “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “Diamonds and Toads,” “Snow White,” and many more.
I’m also proud of how Kelly Jarvis and I put this issue together (especially Kelly), as we are still learning this platform and are not art experts! The FTM team, which also includes Madeline Mertz, Kim Malinowski, and Lissa Sloan, is the best.
Below is the Table of Contents for the issue, and please note that we included the lovely St. Patrick’s Day story by Cheryl Israel, “The Magic Mirror,” which ran on March 17.
Yours in Enchantment,
Kate Wolford
