Fairy Gold

The Greatest of These Publishing is happy to announce the release of their newest book, Fairy Gold. The novel was originally published in 1897 by Christian Reid, a pseudonym for Christine Fisher Tierman from Salisbury, North Carolina. Although her writing style resembles many of the 19th-century classical writers, such as Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, and Grace Livingston Hill, Christian Reid's writing has a special charm all its own.


In order to keep the story flowing smoothly and have a broader appeal, the book has been edited and revised to have more modern punctuation, change confusing phrases, remove some of the redundancy, and be less religiously biased. However, there has been no effort to rewrite the novel or to change the writing style. The language of the 1800s is part of the book's authenticity, and, if needed because of the original sentence structure, some of the punctuation from an earlier style remains. If there wasn't a very good reason to make a change, no change was made.


In the book, Marion and her two friends graduate and get ready to leave their private school to begin new lives. Clara wants to succeed in art, Marion is determined to become wealthy, and Helen just wants to be happy. Clara learns there are more important callings than her art, Helen's fiance betrays her but she learns where real happiness lies, and Marion eventually sees what she had to give up to win her goal. When compared to what's really important, material wealth can end up being just fading "fairy gold." If you like rich characters that learn and change throughout a novel, you'll love Fairy Gold.

All profits from this book go to a scholarship fund for missionary children.
