A fairy doll tops a tree for a family where the youngest girl is struggling in her achievement. When great-grandmother declares that Elizabeth needs her own fairy, the doll becomes hers. With the power of the fairy doll, the girl is able to achieve. What happens when the fairy doll goes missing? You'll have to read to find out, because I'm not telling! There are some aspects to this story that are dated, such as lighting candles on the tree and having a cedar chest. It's probably not a story that modern children would enjoy, but I found it enjoyable. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Fairy Doll has always been at the top of the Christmas tree, brilliant in her white beaded dress and little silver shoes (which Elizabeth is sure were sewn by fairy mice).Elizabeth is the smallest in the family. She is always getting into trouble and her brothers and sisters are forever leaving her out and ordering her around. She's convinced she's useless. Then Great-Grandma gives Fairy Doll to Elizabeth - and it isn't even Christmas! From then on Elizabeth keeps hearing a little 'Ting!' which seems to tell her what to do. Suddenly everything starts going right instead of wrong. Could Fairy Doll be magical? Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I would have loved this when I was a child just for the descriptions of all the crafting and collecting Elizabeth does to make a home for the doll. ?áNever mind that I'm the oldest and so would not likely have empathized then with Elizabeth's plight. ?á*Perhaps* I would have been more supportive or kinder to my younger brothers, though. ?áBest of all, the book is short enough for a family to read it aloud together, perhaps after all the presents have been opened and the feast digested, in the evening of Christmas Day.
