In December 2005, &#8220;Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg&#8221; was published by Disney on Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and Thailand, bringing Disney&#8217;s 75-year heritage of fairytales to Asia in English.  Now the People&#8217;s Postal Publishing House has published more than 10 titles in Chinese, including the latest &#8220;The Fairest Flower,&#8221; &#8220;Prilla&#8217;s Prize&#8221; and &#8220;Picture Perfect.&#8221; Gail Carson Levine, author of &#8220;Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg,&#8221; was in town for the Shanghai Literary Festival and spoke about her love for fairies.  &#8220;My love affair with fairytales began in childhood,&#8221; Levine says. She has a large collection of fairytales, such as Andrew Lang&#8217;s series, &#8220;The Green Fairy Tale Book,&#8221; &#8220;The Blue Fairy Tale Book&#8221; and &#8220;The Sky-Blue-Pink Fairy Tale Book.&#8221;  &#8220;In the land of fairies, there is never a dull moment,&#8221; she says. &#8220;There is always important stuff I can think of and talk about in my story, like greed, jealousy, love and courage. I think these basic qualities are important to children and adults alike.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neverland reaches out in China Chinese girls now can read the magical stories of playful fairies in Neverland, based on J.M.
