In an era of rapidly growing technology, there is a concern that the power and importance of fantasy and magic may be lost. But when Barbara’s two pre-school grandchildren first arrived at the family’s summer cottage, they discovered an old stump in the garden and quickly named it The Fairy Chair. The result was that a magical communication was born which lasted throughout their childhood and created memories for a lifetime. FAIRIES + GOBLINS = MAGIC provides a charming template for grandparents, or any loving relative to enchant, emotionally support, entertain, and educate children through magical communication with the fairies and the goblins.

From examples of Barbara Smith’s own fairy-written stories, to wise and practical suggestions on how to engage with young children, this book offers an opportunity to create an occasional alternative to technology and to embrace a magical and special communication between children and adults.
