Summary |
"Ting-a-ling" by Frank R. Stockton is a whimsical tale written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a fantastical realm filled with magic, fairies, and royal intrigue, centering around a beautiful princess named Aufalia and her encounters with a brave prince as well as the mischievous fairy, Ting-a-ling. Themes of adventure and love permeate the narrative, offering a charming blend of humor and enchantment. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the enchanted land where the princess resides under the care of her father, a benevolent king. Following a chance encounter with a young prince while on a clandestine walk, Aufalia finds herself embroiled in trouble when her protective attendants flee during a sudden skirmish. This sets off a series of misadventures, including the prince becoming imprisoned and Aufalia's distress over his fate. Meanwhile, the fairy Ting-a-ling witnesses the turmoil and vows to help the couple, leading to a journey filled with magical encounters, humor, and eventual resolutions that highlight the power of love and friendship.
