| Summary | "Keijukainen" by Jerome K. Jerome is a whimsical novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces the character of Malvina, a fairy who exists in a world intertwined with like historical and mythological figures, such as King Heremon of Ireland and Queen Harbundia of Brittany. The narrative blends humor with the fantastical, suggesting a charming adventure that explores themes of magic, transformation, and human connection. At the start of the story, a doctor reflects on a tale that has transformed his worldview, introducing us to the enchanting Malvina, who has a knack for turning people into various forms, even satirical ones, as she interacts with kings and commoners alike. As the narrative unfolds, we espy her untamed spirit and mischief, which leads to trouble when she defies a powerful queen. In a twist of fate, the story shifts to 1914, where a young air commodore, Raffleton, encounters Malvina while attempting to repair his airplane. The initial meeting is unexpected and magical, setting in motion a series of events as Raffleton and Malvina embark on an adventure that promises to bridge the worlds of the mythical and the modern.
