You can get his book at:
http://www.afaerytale.com/newage/agora. ... duct=BOOKSThis book is actually not a faerytale, but a genuine autobiography of the author. It is his account of spiritual development from athiest to new beginnings. Ron documents his experiences with actual Fairies who have a mission -and as he puts it, "a penchant for practical jokes" as well! They love to play with he and his wife's hair when they are sleeping..lol. Ron woke up once to find the top of his hair formed into two devilish horns!
Their mission is to wake up mankind.. to bring us to a more spiritual mind-set where we realize how sacred Earth truly is. Ron mentions, "They send an urgent message: Man must take responsibility for the environment, or there will be no recourse"
Ron starts with his memories as a young boy growing up in poverty, to the spiritual ruins he encountered as an alcoholic in his adulthood, to the spiritual restoration the Fairies brought into his life; a restoration that even brought him to realize there really is a God after all., and his life has been enriched with their friendship and guidance to this day.
I met the author over at tribe.net's Fairy Congress forum, and chatted with him on his own Tribe net forum, "A Faerytale".

I took him at his word, and told him to please send my love to his Faery spirit guide, and the other faeries and gnomes that visit his home.. I asked them to feel welcome visiting my own home whenever they wanted as well.. and I mean it !
He emailed me back that the Fairies send their love and will take me up on my invitation some time.. and he reccomended I leave out some sweet treat for them. Chocolate for the gnomes, and other treats for the winged fairies. (Chocolate doesnt agree too much with the winged ones, but gnomes and elves love it)
I did just that, and put out organic Acai toaster tarts and some blueberries.
The next morning I awoke to find my polartec throw was wrapped around my head just like the St. Francis of Assisi statue near my bed! ... hood and all! I looked like a nun!
Before I totally woke up I telepathically heard a woman's name mentioned. I brought it to Ron's attention later, and he agreed, the headdress did sound like something Faerie would do for fun, and he confirmed the name I heard telepathically as one of the faeries who visit his home. He feels gnomes did the manual lifting of the blanket while I was asleep and the fae's must have directed them while chuckling..lol!
He told me to be prepared for more faery humor and their love.
So I was truly visited by one of the faeries mentioned in his book, and I can't wait to read his story and what brought him to spiritual recovery.. and the message the Fae's have for all mankind.
Here is a newspaper article on Ron ,and his experience:

Through the door at the top of the back staircase, past the vine-woven wooden banister railings, sits A FaeryTale, Ron Cordes' new store overlooking Benicia's First Street.
Cordes describes his shop, which recently opened, as a New Age or metaphysical store, depending on your point of reference.But however one labels it, A FaeryTale is a local emporium for nearly anything connected with the mythical enchanted beings.And Cordes doesn't just sell the stuff.He lives it.
"I'm not a prophet and I don't want to imply that I am," said Cordes, 55."I'm a man given a job to do to the best of my ability - to make people aware of their spirituality, and if they ask me, I can tell them how to seek it.I'm just a man who's here to open a door.I guess you could call me a doorman."
Not religious growing up, Cordes said his own spiritual journey began about a decade ago with a conversation with a co-worker.
"He was explaining out-of-body experiences and the astral world and alternate planes of existence, and soon after, I started meditating," Cordes said.
"You use different kinds of energy for this, and I use faery energy.I didn't seek them out, they sought me.If you had told me when I was younger that in 30 years I'd be sitting here with a faery on my head, I'd have died laughing."
Cordes wrote a book detailing his faery encounters, which began as a journal in which he documented them."A FaeryTale" is being published by American Books and is expected to be on store shelves by December, he said.
"Initially, I thought I was just experiencing lucid dreams, seeing old TV shows on my walls, and so on, and then one morning I encountered an energy orb about six inches across, spinning, transparent," Cordes said.This, he said, was his first faery encounter.He has such encounters more frequently now, and in fact is in fairly constant contact with his faery guide, Cassandra, whose likeness hangs framed behind the store's cash register, inside one of several murals gracing the shop's walls.
...
There are animal totems, as well, which Cordes said most people who delve into the metaphysical deeply enough, find they need.
"The door to the metaphysical is usually open through meditation.Most people sooner or later learn they have an animal guide," he said.
The store carries faery-related greeting cards, tote bags, mouse pads and key chains.There are dolls, fine Franz porcelain china pieces, gem stones and energy crystals of various shapes and sizes.There also are Tarot cards and books and games, Buddha's, crystal balls, Egyptian items and representations of Asian and Indian deities.There are Chinese health balls, self-help books and information on Wiccans, children's books, jewelry, and music and meditation CDs.Prices range from $2 for certain keepsake boxes and crystals to $2,100 for some original artwork, Cordes said.
Cordes and his wife of 37 years, Karen, also 55, moved from Concord to Benicia more than two years ago.
...
"There are more and more faery encounters happening every day," Cordes said.
This is fine, he added, since it will facilitate the creatures' mission.
"Faeries' mission is to assist humanity to raise our level of spirituality.Angels are messengers of God, and, like faeries, were created before man and given the job of caring for God's creation.Man was created as muscle for this job, but he's become a cancer on the planet," Cordes said.
Cordes said he knows he may be perceived as loony by some, but has passed the point of caring.
"It was a tough thing to suspend my own disbelief and admit there are faeries.I grew up an atheist, and gave no credence to a higher power," Cordes said.
He said the faeries led him to believe in God.
While she hasn't had the kind of paranormal encounters her husband has enjoyed, many of which, he said, are hilarious, Karen Cordes said she never doubted his experiences for a moment.
"After all these years of marriage, if he says he sees faeries, he sees faeries," she said, adding that she has had some degree of experience with the enchanted world and has both a faery guide named Isabella and an guardian angel.
...
And Ron Cordes said he's content.
"It was scary leaving a well-paying job you know for something uncertain.You have to have a certain amount of faith.I put all my trust in God, the faeries, the metaphysical, and I have no doubt it's going to work," Cordes said.
"I was put here for a reason, and I couldn't be happier.I'm standing every day in the middle of my element, and everything in this store is something that could start a person on their journey," he said.
