About this book
The Rescue of the Princess Winsome by Annie Fellows Johnston invites listeners into a charming, turn-of-the-century fairy play that blends gentle magic, moral warmth, and stage-ready spectacle. Told in the lyrical voice that made Johnston famous in her Little Colonel stories, this children's play presents a classic quest: a beloved princess in peril, whimsical fairies and flowers, sinister enchantments, and brave hearts determined to set things right—without giving away the surprises that make the drama delightful.
Originally published in the early 1900s, the play showcases period theatrical conventions, simple musical touches, and a wholesome moral tone that made it a favorite for children's clubs and amateur theatricals. Themes of courage, loyalty, friendship, and the triumph of kindness are woven through rollicking scenes and memorable characters—from godmothers and witches to a chorus of flower messengers—making the work both a piece of playful fiction and a practical script for performance.
Ideal for families, school drama programs, and listeners who love classic children's literature, this audiobook is perfect for storytime, rehearsals, or anyone seeking a nostalgic, family-friendly fairy play that celebrates imagination and old-fashioned charm.
