The Fairy Queen of the Tale of Tall Timber



TIMBERLINA

And that old Rainbeetle told this tale:

Having been born from a spring in a cleft of mossy granite, a little fairy princess grew up in the high mountains, among the streams and boulder-strewn meadowlands.

She harbored a love for the hum of the insects of the woodlands.
She loved the cicadas, who chirrupped in the summer.
She loved the butterflies of spring and the moths of winter.
She was Timberlina, the Fairy Queen of the Tale of Tall Timber.
