Cross Purposes and The Shadows: A Fantasy Classic By George MacDonald! AAA+++

The fairy Peaseblossom and the goblin Toadstool set off on the oddest mission: to lure a girl and a boy to Færy, to bring before the Queen -- for her subjects in Fairyland are too well-behaved to be amusing.

Can they find the right dreamers? Then Peaseblossom encounters Alice, who wishes she could watch a setting sun at all times -- while Toadstool runs into the nearly penniless Richard, who wants a buy a new umbrella for his mother. Perfect!
