"This is not the way to spend a beautiful spring morning! Elena Klovis thought, as she peered aroudn the pile of bandboxes in her arms. They were full of hats, so they weren't particularly heavy--unlike most of her 
stepmother's luggage--but they were very awkward to carry. There was a lark serenading the morning somewhere overhead, and Elena wished with all her heart she was him and not herself." The Fairy Godmother (Five Hundred Kingdoms)

I like fairy godmothers and hats. I like this beginning. I would like to read this one. Need to read more fantasy.

I do enjoy a good fairytale retelling, and this one sounds like fun. Thanks for sharing.

This sounds great - I love hats! I haven't read any of Mercedes Lackey books but this beginning has really captured me.

Oh, that awful stepmother and her heavy luggage. :) This is a fun beginning, for a book I've not seen before.
Thanks for participating in Book Beginnings!
That's lovely and beautiful and promising... have never picked up Lackey but she makes a good impression. :)
Wonder if the fairy godmother's gonna grant that wish....
