Sylva and the Fairy Ball

The story revolves around Sylva Bell, a young fairy eager to attend the Fairy Ball, where she dreams of wearing magical diamond wings and walking on satin ribbons. However, her excitement is dampened by the fact that fairies must be at least eight years old to attend, and Sylva's birthday falls the day after the event. As she navigates her feelings and the dynamics with her sisters, the tale explores themes of age, desire, and the bonds of sisterhood on Sheepskerry Island.
