"The Star Jewels and Other Wonders" by Abbie Farwell Brown is a children's fantasy collection written in the early 20th century. The book features imaginative stories, including fantastical elements such as mermaids, fairies, and magical adventures. It introduces readers to characters like Wavilocks, a little mermaid whose desire for a starry necklace leads her on an enchanting journey filled with mischief and lessons about contentment. At the start of the story, we meet Wavilocks, who lives in the depths of the ocean and is spoiled by her father, old Triton. Despite having everything a mermaid could wish for, Wavilocks becomes discontent when she catches sight of the twinkling stars and longs for them as a necklace. Her obsession leads her to the evil Crab, who tempts her into an adventure that challenges her understanding of beauty, greed, and the consequences of her desires. The opening sets a tone of whimsy and moral exploration, hinting at deeper lessons wrapped in enchanting storytelling. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
