I just wanted to come here and thank you for sharing your stories with us. I read them as a kid, and even got to see you at the Texas Book Festival a few times. I am now 30 years old and I still love reading my favorites (The Fairy's Return, Fairest, and the Two Princesses of Bamarre). Do you have a favorite of your works? Thank you again for all the magic!

Hello Ms. Gail carson Levine!
Growing up my favorite books were the Fairies books you wrote! My dad would always read them to me before bed. They had such an impact on me and brought such magic to my life, even rereading them now!
Out of curiosity, what motivated you to have Rani cut off her wings and the rules around wings? :)
Thank you I hope you're doing well!

Dear Ms. Levine,
Thank you for writing so many good books! I recently reread The Two Princesses of Bamarre, and I have a question about it. At one point, Rhys says that sorcerers age much slower than humans: he says he is some large number of years old and then he says that is equivalent to about seventeen for a human. Does that mean that Addie will eventually outpace him in maturity? That seems a bit frustrating, to me at least. Or am I thinking about it wrong?
Dear Sonia Meade,
I wrote ELLA ENCHANTED many years ago, but I think Ella was uncomfortable with the power to command that would go with being a princess.
Thanks for writing to me!

I've always wondered, why does Ella not take the title of princess?
