- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2018Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseSo much to say about this compilation of extraordinary short stories through the mind of a very creative person. Author, Lillian Darnell has sparked my imagination. Here’s just a bit of a sneak-peek; A Friendship Between Four Types of Candy. Also, The Whale Who Wore Clothes. Tell me, doesn’t that intrigue you just a little? Well, these stories have made me smile and laugh. Enjoy!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2018Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseMy girls (5th & 2nd grade) love hearing the stories Miss Darnell has woven in this delightful, imaginative book! So much so, that my fifth grader had me read it to her class room. Her teacher turned this into a wonderful lesson on persuing what you do best no matter age or obstacle. Entertaining for my fairytale minded girls.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2019Format: PaperbackMy Review of Where Would You Fly?: and Other Magical Stories Author Lillian Darnell
Where Would You Fly? and Other Magical Stories is a truly unique and magical read. I read this book in one night because the fairies, animal stories and mindfulness advice were so beautiful and provided a deep insight into how one very talented young lady sees the world. Some of the stories are very healing too. I loved how Lillian took animals through emotions and not only expressed how to combat things like shyness but was beautiful enough to validate that those emotions are alright. This book actually made me feel happier after an emotionally stressful week and long after finishing the book a lot of the stories and quotes stay in my mind.
The book itself follows Lillian through her ages of growing up in a magical way. We get to meet her fairies, princesses and learn the lessons of emotions and how to treat others through the many animals and how they relate to people. I loved the stories Love as Chimpanzees and The Last Cookie, well would you share your last cookie? Should you? How do unicorns fly? Could Britney be a princess? Read this book to find out and enjoy the magic of each story.
I also loved the beautiful drawing and photos of Lillian and her family. This really made the book feel even more special. I also think reading about how special Lillian is can only make you feel blessed to be able to see the magic she carries in her mind and heart.
Another one of my favourite stories was Rainbow Love. I loved the character names as well throughout this book, especially Candy Rainbow, Nature fairy and Britney. They were all vivid and easy to imagine when reading their stories…
I loved the poems and rhymes in this book, especially the snow song, made me wish I had snow right now. And the quotes Lillian wrote herself are so beautiful I will have to put this one on my quote post it wall for when I write. “If you hear the rain tip-tapping, that’s the fairies dancing.” – Lillian Darnell.
Where Would You Fly? and Other Magical Stories help you leave your world at the door and take you into a world that is peaceful, colourful and by the end leaves your heart smiling. I would recommend this book if you want to travel to magical places, learn feel good ways to cope with little parts of us that can bother our souls and sing little rhymes and poems, then this is the book you must read, besides this book would also be nice to read to young children as well.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2021Format: PaperbackThe first line of the blurb for this book reads:
Welcome to the radiant imagination of Lillian Darnell, a wonderful and unique human being, the kind who comes around only once in every 56,000 births, as she is missing the short arm of her 18th chromosome.
I thought it was the perfect introduction to my review. Her stories are full of imagination and wonder, as you see the world through her eyes from age 4 (written with a little help from her mum, Camilla) to age 16. Some are gentle guides to mindfulness, others to how to be happy, and most are delightful stories with fairies, unicorns, and magic.
I have to admit I found the Emotions and Feelings part particularly touching, where Lillian explores her own emotions while growing up. Her condition, and her journey which led to the publication of this book, are explained in the introduction by Camilla, who is also a wonderful poet, and a beautiful person. Her dedication to Lillian, and her son Thomas, is evident through the stories Lillian has written and the love she has for her family.
Every now and then it's lovely to get away from the real world and travel to distant lands with mythical beings. Lillian's book is a wonderful distraction that you can dip into every now and then, and it will put a smile on your face.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2018Format: PaperbackI read Lillian’s book on a plane trip and having a few hours up my sleeve, I found myself lost in a wonderful world of imagination. Everything on and in this Earth having a reason to be and having a name. What a delight, what a beautiful soul Lillian is and projects this into her stories. I recommend reading this magical book of tales and get lost in days gone by when the world was a nicer place to be in. You will close the book with a smile on your face and a feeling of just emerging from a wonderland. Well done Lillian, I love your mind and stories you share with us.
