Summary: "The Blue Moon" by Laurence Housman is a fairy tale written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on the enchanting romance between Nillywill, a princess hiding her royal heritage, and Hands-pansy, a humble peasant boy.

The opening of the book sets a whimsical tone, introducing us to the inseparable childhood bond between Nillywill and Hands-pansy, who find love in their innocence before she is taken away to reclaim her royal identity.

As she yearns for reunion, the narrative draws readers into a world filled with fantastical elements like moon-fays and enchanted realms, where love's endurance amidst adversity is beautifully illustrated.
