Tinsel Swain, an enchanted story poem written by Craig Cherry and illustrated by Laura Kehoe is a prequel to the novel Tinsel Swain and the Vampire Theatre. Many call Tinsel Swain a dark fairy, not because she is evil, but because she is unlike the usual fairy creature as found in most children's books. She has the ability to link far away worlds with her superfairy powers and travel to distant realms. Acting independently, she moves through space and time, jumping from planet to planet. She bounces along from soul to soul like a stone skimming over water. How she uses her multi-dimensional powers to connect with people on different planets is one of the greatest mysteries of the universe.
