Mayna Cosby

Princess Blossom, although deeply loved by her father, the king, is lonely after the death of her mother. She finds solace and companionship in a golden hare, a silver fox and a green dragon, only to lose each friend in turn when her father intervenes. Finally, with the assistance of a chatty spider who weaves her a magic cape, the princess is transported to a nearby village, where she has a life-altering encounter with the poor but generous children who live there.

A lifelong South Carolinian, Cosby graduated from Erskine College and earned a master’s degree in teaching from The Citadel. She taught for many years, ending her career at Lambs Elementary School in Charleston. She is a member of Charleston Southern University’s Legacy Society and provides annual scholarships for needy Christian students. She is the author of two previous books, “Granny Rabbit’s Gooseberry Pie: Stories and Poems,” and “All About the Miracles: A Book of Poems and Other Contemplations on God’s Holy Word.”

“Princess Blossom and the Miraculous Cape” is available at online booksellers, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
