description: "An utterly delightful collection of short stories about enchantment in everyday life. They include 'The Nightmare,' in which a hooligan is forced to see himself through other people's eyes; 'Aunt Charlotte and the NGA Portraits,' about the search for treasure in a painting come to life; and the title story, about a girl who isn't interested in the wishes she is granted by an elf prince....Each story is a perfectly crafted little gem...in this auspicious debut."--Kirkus Reviews.
