Fairy Debt (3 page)

I kept in touch with Princess Goob. Right up through the time when she became Queen Goob. She'd married by then. A nice young writer-fellow I found for her, named Adoulphus Grimm. They had two children, both boys. I became a kind of adopted aunt, since I had far too many fairy godmother gigs by then to take on them as well. I did tell them about my exploits though, usually over Sunday tea. Fairy-tales, the boys called them. I had no idea they would write them all down. But that's another story.

About The Author

New York Times
Bestselling author Gail Carriger writes to cope with being raised in obscurity by an expatriate Brit and an incurable curmudgeon. She survived her early years by reading most of her local library and memorizing Greek battles. Eventually she escaped small-town life and inadvertently acquired several degrees in Higher Learning. In pursuit of further finishing, Ms. Carriger traveled the historic cities of Europe; subsisting entirely on biscuits secreted in her handbag. Gail now resides in the Colonies, where she is surrounded by fantastic shoes and insists on tea imported from London.
