Castle Lisa Dawn

There comes a time in everyone's life when they wake up and realize that the fairy tales they cherished so much in childhood are nothing more than make-believe. The real world can be cold and uncaring, but there is still beauty to be found within it. Love does not happen overnight, but when it does, it is the most precious thing in the world. Castle [and other poems about growing up in a fairy tale world] is an anthology of poetry about fantasy, love, and reality. It consists of nearly one hundred poems for children and adults alike who are struggling to make the transition between their perfect world of magic and dreams and the world they are physically living in. Its three categories--"Once Upon a Time: poems about fantasy," "Happily Ever After: poems about love," and "Through the Looking Glass: poems about reality"--were made to create a gradual transition for idealistic dreamers into the real world and attempt to unravel its mysteries.
