My mom used to read this book to me as a child. I loved it so much that I found a copy and now read it to my daughter.

I read this gem over and again as a child, but have looked fruitlessly for it again for nearly 20 years, and my husband finally found it again for me, and I re-read it, pleased to see that the magic has not worn off. It was a childhood favorite of my mother's as well, and she passed this memory down to me. Minikin "Minx" Snickasee was a witch's child, or so she thought...

Never had bathed, was often neglected and abused, underfed, and lived in fear of her mother. But, she had dreams... dreams that she was NOT the daughter of a witch, but a fairy instead... At the age of nine she rebelled and began attending school, meeting the lovely Frances and her large, boisterous, but kind family. The family became her saving grace, and Madame Snickasee, the old witch, was made to pay for her crimes against children and humanity in general.

And, best of all, she found that her dreams were real, and her mother, her REAL mother, was a Wood Nymph Fairy, placed under an enchantment by Madame Snickasee! Her mother, Moonfire, came to stay with Grandma and Frances' family, and Minikin finally had all the love she'd craved...
