The Girl Who Ruled Fairyland–for a Little While

The Girl Who Ruled Fairyland–for a Little While (2011) Catherynne M. Valente

Mallow is content to live with her cast iron ducks doing the occasional magic for those in need, but mostly she prefers to be left alone.

But then the King of Fairy calls a for a Foul in the capital of Pandemonium and requires are Fair Folks to attend, so off she goes, hoping perhaps to learn some Wet Magic while she’s there.

I’ve had The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making on my wishlist for awhile now, so I thought this short story would be a nice introduction to Catherynne M. Valente’s money. It was, and it’s time for me to read The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making.
