Prologue

"Tell me a story, Mommy!" the little girl begged her mother, who was sitting across from her on the child's bed.

"What sort of story, Sarah?" the mother asked, with a warm smile. "One starring you again?"

"No, no, no!" Sarah squealed, fiercely hugging her teddy bear. "I want a story about faeries, goblins, castles, and...............a princess."

"And what kind of princess?" Sarah's mother smiled, gently tucking the bed covers around her five year old daughter.

"An unusual kind! One no one's ever told a story about before!" Sarah exclaimed.

"Hmmm.......that's quite a task, but I'll try," her mother replied. "Well, here goes....."

And little Sarah Williams snuggled into her covers, ears all ready and eyes wide open.
