Introduction

It is our intent to keep alive the fairy tales, folklore, folk tales and stories our grandparents and great-grandparents were told as children from their Victorian and Edwardian grandparents. We will strive to re-introduce this forgotten world of fairydom and tales back into the lives of the children of the 21st Century allowing them to experience a little of the magic of childhoods from yesteryear.

These tales are taken from old and forgotten books republished by Abela Publishing of London which have been republished with the sole purpose of raising funds for charities around the world.

So, enough from me, on with the stories……..

The Palace in the Clouds

A Jewish Fairy Tale

Ikkor, the Jewish vizier of the king of Assyria, was the wisest man in the land, but he was not happy. He was the greatest favourite of the king who heaped honours upon him, and the idol of the people who bowed before him in the streets and cast themselves on the ground at his feet to kiss the hem of his garment. Always he had a kindly word and a smile for those who sought his advice and guidance, but his eyes were ever sad, and tears would trickle down his cheeks as he watched the little children at play in the streets.
