The Banishment of Faleero-Background Information
The Oz books contain mentions of several fairies, but, with one exception, all of them are good. This one exception is Faleero, who was first mentioned in Ruth Plumly Thompson's Kabumpo in Oz, where she is described as the thousand-year-old, ugly Princess of Follensby Forest, who spends all of her time gathering sticks. In The Purple Prince of Oz, Faleero transforms the King, Queen, Prince, and Princesses of Pumperdink, and marries the King's brother Kettywig. At the end of this story, she is punished by Queen Ozma. Anyway, I had the idea that Faleero was a fallen fairy (you know, like Lucifer is a fallen angel), and this story explains Faleero's banishment from the fairy community.
