SHOULD FAIRIES LIVE IN CASTLES?

I, Delbert Bee, have never really been inside Windom Castle.  But Lina tells me it is beautiful.  She enjoys going there to visit her grandfather.  He wants her to live there all the time but she really enjoys living among the flowers.  Maybe when winter comes she will change her mind.  Maybe Lord Windom has a room with big windows where flowers can grow inside.  I know the gardens are great.  I fly around in them all the time.  But I hear talk about the caverns that are under the castle.  It is said that mushrooms grow in some of them.  They also say that some are so deep that nothing grows except stalactites and stalagmites.  Well, I won't be going there and you probably shouldn't either.  But you could come and visit me among the flowers.  I'd better buzz off now.

IS WINDOM CASTLE TOO ELEGANT FOR COMMON CREATURES TO VISIT?

Lord Windom was the only nobleman in this distant part of Umberland.  He befriended the band of fairies that moved there to escape a volcano eruption.  He was Lina Thimble's grandfather but it took some time for them to meet each other.  He was a kind man who didn't look down his nose at any person or creature. When the area around Tom Thimble's farm came to be called Thimblewyck every one considered Lord Windom to be part of the group, one of it's citizens.  He has always planted bee-delicious flowers around the castle.  I buzz up there every so often.
