The reign of King Oberon

"The Reign of King Oberon" by Walter Jerrold presents a series of whimsical fairy tales set in the magical kingdom ruled by King Oberon and Queen Titania. The narratives focus on their escapades and relationships with fairies, dwarfs, sprites, and other mystical beings, exploring themes of love, trickery, and disagreements within the fairy courts. The stories take off by detailing the strained relationship between Oberon and Titania, caused by a dispute over a changeling child, with impacts on the fairy and human worlds. As the fairies take sides, the neglect of nature brings chaos to humans, showing how the two worlds are linked. The collection provides a continuation of narratives shared at Oberon's court, promising stories of familiar characters, and scenarios after the reconciliation of Oberon and Titania.
