February Frolics

February Frolics: A Fairy Tale InterludeShe appeared on the village green with the February dawn-a girl with silver-blonde hair, a tent the colour of morning mist, and a smile that made the snowdrops bloom early.Fern doesn't explain where she came from or why she's camping on the village green in the depths of winter. She simply is-a literature student on an adventure, a storyteller with a gift for magic, a girl who talks to robins and leaves glitter wherever she walks.Emma Morrison is convinced: Fern is a fairy. The adults shake their heads and smile, but even they can't quite explain the way flowers bloom in Fern's footsteps, or how the cottage windows shine brighter when she passes, or why the whole village seems lighter since she arrived.For one magical February week, Fern brings joy to the Enchanted Village. She reads stories at Chapter & Verse that make children believe in wonder and adults remember their dreams. She befriends Dimity and Vivian, shares tea with Mrs Willoughby, and gently deflects questions about where she'll go next.Because Fern is running-from a choice, from a boy with kind eyes and a patient heart, from the terrifying question: what if love is real and I'm brave enough to choose it?The village has healed broken hearts and mended fractured marriages. But can it help a girl who's afraid to believe in her own happy ending?Set between January Joy and March Miracle, February Frolics is a standalone novella that can be read independently or as part of The Enchanted Village series Annie Seaton lives on the edge of the South Pacific Ocean on the east coast of Australia with her own hero of many years.
