Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Peter, a woodcutter who lives a solitary life in the forest. He longs for companionship and seeks a wife at a local market, but his lack of wealth and his rugged appearance deter many women. Just when he is about to give up hope, he encounters a mysterious old woman and her young charge, Susan. Peter, moved by Susan's sadness, proposes marriage, and the old woman, who is actually a powerful fairy in disguise, grants their wish. Susan brings a new vibrancy to Peter's life and their woodland home becomes a haven of love and simple pleasures. The author skillfully portrays the joys and challenges of their humble existence, highlighting the power of human connection and the importance of finding happiness in the everyday. The story takes a tragic turn when Peter is killed by a falling tree, leaving Susan and their young daughter, Daisy, to face a bleak future. The author poignantly captures the profound grief of loss and the resilience of the human spirit, weaving in elements of folklore and the supernatural. This book, set in the mid-19th century, explores themes of love, loss, and resilience in a way that resonates with readers of all ages and offers timeless insights into the human condition.
