This tale began as a book-within-a-book in the author's latest novel. In Palimpsest, it is a strange book for children written in the 1920s, about a young girl spirited away to Fairyland by the Green Wind, and her adventures there. The author had never planned to write it, but in a bid to pay her bills, Catherynne M. Valente has decided to post a chapter every Monday until the novel is done and let readers pay whatever they think it's worth. Two chapters are already out, so why not try it?
