Molly and Pete go in search of a cave their fathers had often spoken of but had not been able to find. They find the cave their way to a second cave in which they see a very dark pond and large flowers all around that seem to glitter and within the flowers tiny fairies sleep.

My name is Randi McKinnon. I came to this country from Norway in 1959 and settled in Oregon. After working in the Food and Hospitality Service for 40 some odd years, I retired. Thinking retirement was bowing, I needed something new to hold my interest. I decided to take a correspondence course in the writing of children's books through The Institute of Children's Literature. Most of my stories are fiction as I embellish on stories told to me as a child. I had no playmates and made up my own games. Trolls, fairies, and the like were believed to be real, according to our grandparents. So remembering these, I have a lot to write about.
