Have you ever thought about what fiction is? Probably, such a question may seem surprising: and so everything is clear. Every person throughout his life has to repeatedly create the works he needs for specific purposes - statements, autobiographies, dictations - using not gypsum or clay, not musical notes, not paints, but just a word. At the same time, almost every person will be very surprised if he is told that he thereby created a work of fiction, which is very different from visual art, music and sculpture making. However, everyone understands that a student's essay or dictation is fundamentally different from novels, short stories, news that are created by professional writers. In the works of professionals there is the most important difference - excogitation. But, oddly enough, in a school literature course, you don’t realize the full power of fiction. So using our website in your free time discover fiction for yourself. The Pearl Box and the Seahorse by Ann Wilson (best electronic book reader TXT) 📖

Lady Oswald and her children Edward and Annie went home in a splendid carriage that Sir Gerald had provided them. They also took with them the three boxes of gifts given to them by the people of the island.
At the castle, Lady Evans was amazed on seeing the beauty of the pearl jewels in the three boxes given to them by the people of the island. She wore them with much delight.
Sir Gerald and Oswald set off immediately to visit Her Royal Highness, The Queen of England.
The two gentlemen met Her Royal Highness, The Queen of England, and narrated the legend of the Island of Peace. They also presented the three boxes full of beautiful pearl jewels King Ferdinand gave her. They also requested that a peace treaty be signed as per the request of the King of the island.
The Queen was surprised on hearing the fact that the people of the island do not shed blood, and that the wild beasts live among people in peace. She had great respect for them and their King and Queen, and gladly accepted the invitation and the gifts with much admiration.
Her Royal Highness, The Queen of England, gladly accepted King Ferdinand’s invitation and gifts, promising to visit the island soon. She gave gifts of gold and precious stones in return for the King and the Queen of the Island of Peace.
The ambassadors were happy at the Queen’s benevolence and thanked her from the depth of their hearts.
They immediately returned to the island and informed King Ferdinand and Queen Rosemary of the visit and presented the gifts. Indeed, both of them were delighted to know of the Queen’s kindness, and gladly received the gifts.
Her Royal Highness, The Queen of England, visited the Island of Peace, and was highly impressed by life in the island. She was happy to see wild beasts living politely with people. Ferdinand and Rosemary were much delighted at The Queen’s visit.
The Queen was much inspired that she signed a treaty of peace with the island. Other treaties regarding trade were also signed. The Queen also assured to protect the island from any foreign invasion, as it was wealthy. Also, the Queen declared the island as the most peaceful place on earth. She loved it so much that she visited it too often.
The people of the island exchanged pearls for precious goods and became wealthy, and lived in prosperity.
Sweetscented flowers were in abundance all over the island. There were large pastures for the animals to feed, as none of them were predators. The fields yielded a hundred fold, and the woods had trees that gave edible fruits, all of them nourishing the island’s prosperity.
The birds of the island sang cheerfully all the time, making every moment pleasant for its inhabitants.
The island’s chastity was protected by winds and ocean currents, preventing pirates and evildoers from entering it. Many other countries signed peace treaties with the island and had healthy trade relations with it. Animals were neither bought nor sold as a strict rule, to protect the tamed ones of the island.
The Evans and the Oswalds often visited Ferdinand and Rosemary who were always happy to receive them. Oswald had great political significance in England, and was no more just a wealthy landlord.
Laura, the governess, stayed in the island on Rosemary’s request and was her legal advisor thereafter, until she returned to England a year later to take care of Sir Gerald Evans’ newborn, Richmond Evans.
Ferdinand and Rosemary ruled over the island in peace and prosperity, and lived happily ever after.
