| Summary | "The Reign of King Oberon" by Walter Jerrold is a collection of fairy tales written in the early 20th century. The book explores the enchanting realm of Fairyland under the rule of the fairy king Oberon and his queen Titania, highlighting their adventures and interactions with various magical creatures such as fairies, dwarfs, and sprites. The stories are woven around themes of love, mischief, and the conflicts that arise within the fairy courts, ensuring a captivating experience for readers who enjoy classic fairy tales. At the start of the volume, a preface introduces the collection as a delightful continuation of stories told at Oberon's court. The opening narrative describes the troubled relationship between Oberon and Titania, triggered by a quarrel over a changeling boy, which leads to significant repercussions for the fairy realm and, in turn, the human world. As the fairies divide into factions, the neglect of nature results in turmoil among humans, illustrating the intertwined fate of both worlds. Ultimately, the couple reconciles, leading to a grand assembly of fairies where stories will be told, setting the stage for enchanting tales, including those of familiar characters and scenarios.
