In the space land of Over the Moon everything sparkles off its rough surface. Glittering archways tower over each entry. The denizens float — wingless fairies. They wear flowing, light, luminous, gauzy garments — even the cats.
Panda bears tumble through the air.
Rivers flow through the air and fish can be seen dancing in the river bottoms.
Denizens float above and below the river streams. The naiads play.
Over the Moon creates magic spells to give to other lands in trade. They package the spells in stardust or disguise them as moonflowers with enormous pastel petals.
Visitors experience Over the Moon in passing. Each receives a magic spell sprinkled over their head.
“I began to float,” said Miss Emeline Traveler.
“I fell in love there,” Miss Doe Friend admits.
The Travelers were given magic scepters.
“It can grant friends’ wishes,” said the Guide. “To stay you must give up your size and heavily weighted ways.”
In the center of pastel clouds surrounded by a floating pond bobs the castle Elated, which smells of spun sugar. The warm air in Elated caresses the skin. Butterflies with turquoise, emerald, silver, magenta, lime and gold wings flutter. They walk across flowers. Elatedians dress in clouds.
“When we were there, a cat-swan sat upon the throne,” says Miss Doe Friend. "I forget her name now, but I was delighted to see her."
