The Magic Stones

About the Book

Molly and Pete go in search of a cave their fathers had often spoken of but had not been able to find .They find the cave and their way to a second cave in which they see a very dark pond and large flowers all around that seem to glitter and shine and within the flowers tiny fairies sleep. A saddened fairy cries while telling the children how they got there and the dragon as she shows them the skeleton. Her tears fall to the floor and turn into stones then to diamonds. Molly asked if she could keep the pebbles and was allowed. Outside the cave, Molly and Pete have no memory of what had happened. The stones were taken to the jeweler for appraisal and found to be very expensive. Molly’s parents shared the money with Pete’s family. Molly got the news – she were to become a big sister!

About the Author

My name is Randi McKinnon. I came to USA from Norway in 1959 and settled in Oregon. After working in food service 40 some odd years as a chef and baker I retired. Thinking retirement was boring, I needed something new to do. My correspondence with my friends almost always turned into what they called’ book editions’. Of all my hobbies, I like writing the best and decided to take a correspondence course in writing children’s books. Most of my stories are fiction as I embellish on stories from my childhood. In the village where I grew up, it was far between houses so I had no playmates and had to make up my own games. Trolls and fairies were believed to be real, according to my grandparents. So remembering this, I have a lot to write about. Some of my sentence structures may not be quite correct as I sometimes mix my two languages together. Here’s hoping I’ll be forgiven!! This is me in a nutshell!
