Synopsis: Everyone learns everything with ease and aptitude in Fairyland, even those two naughty, but very charming, Princesses Isabel and Alice. They run away to Mother Earth, but are quickly disillusioned by the planet. Beneficent fairies weave their spells throughout the story, and in due course the Baby King is rescued from a peculiarly malevolent dragon by the devotion of the two Princesses, his sisters. Their toilsome ascent of the cavernous mountain-side, wherein a dreaded dragon-snake was won't to take fiery volcano baths, leads to their being drawn back into Fairyland, which hangs in mid-air just so far from Mother Earth as the low-lying clouds of a misty morning.
