Synopsis

Elizabeth Atkins is gifted. She can work such wonders with a pencil and piece of paper that even the 'Old Masters' would nod in awe. However, the nods Elizabeth gets from her teachers are more out of concern than admiration. Elizabeth's senior high school years begin with a wake-up call. Her daydreaming days are over. Reality is about determination, hard work, focus and fairies . . . Fairies? Now, that's a surprise. Elizabeth knows, like most other girls and boys, and their mums and dads that fairies only exist in fairy tales. What she doesn't know is that there are exceptions. Serendipity, the pink winged fairy turns out to be one of them. 'Serendipity' is not a fairy tale. It is more 'a tale with a fairy in it' Elizabeth's magical companion encourages her to cast her own spell. Through their unique bond, Elizabeth learns that a good measure of self-confidence, determination and honesty is the perfect potion to work wonders. For years to come, Elizabeth holds her most precious treasure close to her heart - Serendipity's words; 'The magic is within you'

Biographie de l'auteur

Rashmi Kaimal was born in 1976 in Kerala, South India. She holds a Bachelors Degree in International Tourism and a MSc in Quality Management. She currently resides in the UK with her husband and two daughters. 'Serendipity's emphasis on encouraging creativity is reflective of Rashmi's own love of Art in any form. Having trained in Indian Classical Dance and Music for a number of years, she feels that there is nothing more enriching for children than being given the opportunity to discover, explore and develop their own interests and talents. So, how is it that a 'thirty plus' mother of two - someone who once obtained fairly decent marks in Mathematics and Science, someone who is considered of sound and stable mind by all those who know her - chose to write a story about something as implausible as a fairy? Rashmi's answer is this: Rashmi does not believe in fairy tales, however, she does believe that we tread a fine line between dreams and reality. She believes that with the right encouragement and determination dreams can come true. As far as the 'implausibility' goes, well, aren't children proof enough that miracles do happen . . . . . .
