|  | In the Kingdom of the Fairies by Susan Coyne
The author writes about a friendship that developed when she was 5 between her and the old man who lived next door to the family`s summer house on an island in Lake Superior. Mr. Moir and Susan became friends and gardening buddies, and he also wrote her letters purporting to come from fairies, which Susan happily answered--producing a remarkable series of letters that continued over the years, and were important to her when she was trying to choose a career. In the end, with Mr. Moir`s encouragement, she became an actress. AUTHOR: Susan Coyne
