"Kassia grew up into a lovely little girl, thinking the Fairy Queen was her Mother, and the other smaller fairies were her sisters..."

"But as she got older she began to realize that she was not like the others."

"She felt different from the fairies who came every day to play with her..."

"They loved playing with her and her toys."

"..and having tea parties together with her dolls..."

"Kassia wondered why she didn't have wings like everyone else? Was she even a fairy?"

"But no one would answer."

"She started to feel like there was some kind of secret they weren't telling her, and often sat out on her own.."

"And she would spend hours staring out the window wondering what was out there beyond the garden gates..."

"What weren't they telling her?"

"She felt very isolated and alone, even in a room full of fairies. However, unknown to the little Princess, there actually were other humans in the castle, humans stolen away to become servants to the fairies. There were maids, cooks, and guards, but they were all forbidden contact with the little Princess, so she didn't even know of their existence..."

"The Fairy Queen did came every day to spend some time with her..."

"... but she wouldn't answer Kassia's questions either."

"She just knew she wasn't like the fairies, and wondered if there was anyone else like her out there."

Awww, poor little girl. I can imagine that she would feel "different."

Elin looks lovely in the role.

Thanks. I thought my normal resin Elin would be the best candidate to play young Kassia, and she did a great job.

Poor Kassia! In her heart she knows something is not quite right. I love this girl to show her getting older. Such a wonderful story.

Thank you. We never photographed this part of her story in the original fairytale version from thirty years ago, and I wanted to try it.

Every episode of the story is a lovely fairy tale!

I love the photo of the young Kassia dressed in white and sitting at the window - a foreshadow of her pose for Adrian's portrait of the beautiful woman she grows into.

Thank you.

Yes, I needed all the little girl versions to be dressed in white, since that's all she wears when she's grown up. It will even be this same window, in the future, since she ends up living in this very same castle.
