| Summary | "How the Fairy Violet Lost and Won Her Wings" by Marianne L. B. Ker is a children's fairy tale written in the early 1870s. This enchanting story follows the journey of the Fairy Violet, who faces trials that result in her losing her delicate wings and seeks to regain them through acts of kindness and service to others. The narrative beautifully captures themes of compassion, sacrifice, and the natural beauty of the world. In this tale, Fairy Violet, a gentle and caring fairy, loses her wings while tending to her beloved flowers after being accidentally knocked down by some boys. In her quest to find new wings, she consults various sources, including the King of the Fire Spirits and the King of the Snow Spirits, but each gift she receives results in unintended harm to the natural world she cherishes. Ultimately, her true path to regaining her wings lies in her selfless acts of kindness toward a sick girl and her mother, which earn her the respect and love of the fairy community. The story concludes with Violet receiving her wings back from the Fairy Queen, symbolizing the rewards of love, patience, and the enduring power of good deeds.
