The Merrie Side of the Moon: A Christmas Fairytale
A little girl is offered the chance to join a Christmas feast on the other side of the moon — but the spirits of the forest near her house will do anything to stop her
“‘It is easier said than done to remember the things we ought to do, even when they are things we want to do,” [the eagle] said in a low, musical voice. “Should you lose sight of what you need to do at any point and still long to join us, drop the feather, and I will come to your aid.’”
— Susanna Schwartz, “The Merrie Side of the Moon”
