Fairy Tale

Mopsa the Fairy

by Jean Ingelow

Jack finds a nest of fairies in a hollow thorn tree, and soon afterwards an albatross carries him off with them to Fairyland. One of them is Mopsa, who grows from a tiny fairy into a queen as the story goes on, faster than Jack can bear. Jean Ingelow was best known as a poet, and this is her best-loved book for children.
