O knihe

In this fairy tale for children of all ages, the impossible becomes possible. Portentia and her family live as poor farmers. Portentia is usually a happy little girl, but lately she has been sad. The children at school dont want to play with her because she is poor. When her mother questions her, Portentia explains that the other children say its how many of everything you have that determines if you are poor. Portentia doesnt have as many dresses as the other girls, and her scrambled egg sandwiches are not as fancy as their ham and cakes. The other children reject her.

Portentia is surprised when her mother comes to her school to tell the children a story of a brave princess who saves a kingdom with the help of a herd of wild horses. Long ago, a prophet had foretold that one day, wild horses would restore the kingdom to the king who wears the sacred crown. What a strange prophecy! And how could it ever come to pass? And yet, like all true prophecies, it did.

As Portentias mother ends her story, the children look at Portentia in wonder. Is she merely a poor farmers daughter? Might she and her family be more than they seem? Why does Portentias mother seem secretive about answering the childrens questions?

This adventure set in the long ago and far away is modern in lessons of kindness and acceptance and the certainty that when God says a thing, it will come to pass.
