<DIV>Elizabeth Ann Scarborough&rsquo;s&#160;<I>Godmother</I>&#160;puts a new twist in contemporary fantasy with the assertion that fairy godmothers exist here and now, and they have magical power that allows them to intervene in real-world problems.<BR /><BR /> What if someone wished for a fairy godmother would help the entire city of Seattle? An overworked, overstressed social worker named Rose Samson does just that when she makes an idle wish on a mustard seed. Felicity Fortune of Godmothers Anonymous shows up to help. Rose Samson is neither fashion model beautiful nor a twit, and she happily joins forces with Felicity Fortune, a &ldquo;Godmother&rdquo; who demonstrates that Grimm&rsquo;s fairy tales are still relevant in our humdrum modern world.<BR /><BR /> Fairy godmothers are on a magical budget, so every possible way they can get human beings or animals to assist one another, they will try, rather than using up their magical means.<BR /><BR /> Felicity encounters many strangely familiar situations: a pretty stablehand named Cindy Ellis is mistreated by her cruel stepsisters. A rock star&rsquo;s daughter, scared of the supermodel she married, runs away from home and encounters seven Vietnam veterans at an encounter session and retreat. One of them might be a big bad wolf, who knows?<BR /><DIV>&#160;</DIV>In all their encounters, Rose and Felicity try to blend their magical aid with realistic human initiative and social responsibility. Scarborough&rsquo;s fully realized settings and the humor built into the mix of magical solutions and grim reality make this work an entertaining and compelling read.</DIV><BR />
