| Summary | "The Other Side of the Sun: Fairy Stories" by Evelyn Sharp is a collection of fairy tales written in the late 19th century. The stories feature whimsical adventures set in enchanting worlds, often revolving around magical characters like the Weird Witch of the Willow-Herb and Princesses who seek true bravery, love, and self-discovery. With its charming illustrations and timeless themes of kindness and courage, the collection brings forth the delightfully imaginative spirit of classic fairy tales. The opening of the collection introduces us to the Weird Witch of the Willow-Herb, who lives in a dreamy pink cottage high on a hill. Despite her kind nature and magical abilities, she often finds herself unbothered as people seeking spells tend to settle for quick and easy solutions at the base of the hill. However, the arrival of two characters—Princess Winsome, who is seeking the bravest boy in the world to play with, and Kit the Coward, who wants to prove his bravery—sets the stage for an adventure that challenges their perceptions of courage and personal worth. As their paths intertwine, the story hints at themes of finding true strength through understanding and companionship, sparking the imagination to delve deeper into the adventures that lie ahead in the collection.
