1977 Lolita in the Garden
Unpublished.
Synopsis
A fairy godmother grants three wishes to an eleven year old girl - she can do as she likes, no one can order her to do anything, she will never have to do as others would wish. Lolita's mother agrees that she can go into the forest to play but in the paradise of playing just as she likes Lolita comes to long for someone to tell her what to do. Lolita asks the fairy godmother, a tree and a poetical bear for advice before understanding is reached in time for her mother to find her in the forest.
