	Here is the First book of Children's Literature we found to put up on Elfinspell:   The Goldenrod Fairy Book, translated by Esther Singleton. Charm and novelty abound in these pages.  Newly discovered fairy tales are always a welcome find. Beth Romanek and her grandchildren, Ryan and Destiny were the reason this book was selected.   The hope was that Beth would be able to add illustrations from her own fertile and artistic imagination, but the idea was too late for her to be able to do so before her death from the most voracious, relentless cancer of all, adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. She did enjoy the White Cat and Huntsman the Unlucky at least, before listening to fairy tales was beyond her. Maybe, Destiny and Ryan will be able to enjoy the stories that Beth loved some day, and be able to imagine what their Nana would have drawn to delight them if she had had more time.
