Quote of the Week


"The Grey Faerie put her head in her hands, looking ready to cry—she was very good at that. Her battered grey wings drooped mournfully, and several ragged and seedy-looking animals appeared from nowhere to comfort her. Strange things like that always seemed to happen when she was around."
