by Harriet Elizabeth Prescott Spofford

Cover of The fairy changeling

A little boy who doesn't believe in fairies comes into the garden after his bedtime, trying to catch a nightmoth. He falls asleep and the fairies take him to the Fairy Queen to be a Changeling. When he wakes up, he first enjoys his new friends but then a familiar song recalls his home and family. He decides he would rather be a boy. His wish is granted and as the play ends, his nurse finds him in the garden, happy that she found him before the fairies had bound him.
