Toronto: Random House Canada, 2001. Small format hardcover. Inscribed and signed by Susan Coyne ("To - and - , with best wishes, Susan Coyne"). "A true fairy tale about the magic of childhood". Actress Susan Coyne, as a young girl, discovered an old stone fireplace in a hedge near her family's cottage in Kenora. Her father told her he believed it was used as a boarding house for fairies and elves. Hoping to one day meet a real fairy, Susan began sweeping the hearth and leaving litlle gifts and a picture of herself. Overnight the gifts would disappear, and one day she found something waiting in return - a carefully folded letter written on pink paper, sealed with wax, and wedged in between the mossy stones. It was from Nootsie Tah, fairy Princess. A correspondence ensued, and young Susan consulted old Mr Moir, her next door neighbour and gardening companion. His library had many books about the fairies, and they read together about Queen Mah and others Susan would soon be introduced to. "As the letters continued all that magical summer, Susan developed two unusual friendships: one with a proud princess from a mystical land, and the other with a generous soul who helped cultivate a young girl's imagination." 170 pages..
