A gift to the museum from Colleen Moore, star of the silentfilm era and the original 'flapper,' the Fairy Castle has appealed to the imaginations of thousands of children since 1949.The minute and precious detail of this cherished residence of Moore's imaginary fairy prince and princess has been captured in color photography, giving the reader a closeup tour of the ninefootsquare and twelvefoothigh castle's rooms and their treasures.
