A delightful story of two refugee children, Gentian and Kay, ages eight and nine, and their artist mother, Detra, who have been separated from their father by war. When Nan, a girl from the mountains, answers Detra's ad for household help, Kay and Gentian find a wise and guiding friend. With Nan's arrival, wonderful experiences soon unfold. They encounter the Clear Land and befriend the Wind Boy, discovering that they share a troublesome problem.
This was cute, though not entirely my deal in terms of tone and content. Still pretty cute, and definitely may be good for little kids interested in stories about fairies!
This book seemed a little slow at times, but I imagine if I was a child I would be thoroughly delighted by this story.
