After years and years of reimbursing boys and girls for their lost teeth, Myrtle, the Tooth Fairy has run out of money and is forced to seek financial aid from the king of the fairies, King Oberon, who is disinterested in her plight and no help at all.
Refusing to disappoint the children around the world and determined not to be a failure, Myrtle is forced to rely upon herself and problem solve. No longer a svelte, flighty fairy, middle-aged Myrtle has experienced life and knows something about people’s natures and what makes them happy. She takes stock of her options and opportunities.
The toothless gutter trolls! Myrtle presents a mutually beneficial idea to the interested king of the gutter trolls, King Hogard. Not mentioning her own financial problem, she deals from a position of strength; the toothless trolls are unhappy, having teeth would make them happy, she can supply the troll kingdom with teeth for a fair price. That she has an endless sup-ply of teeth remains her secret. Myrtle successfully refinances her Tooth Fairy coffers with a self-perpetuating, fair financial solution.
Writer John Robbins and artist Rae Owings have teamed as co-directors and co-hosts of two high-ly successful PBS television series, GATHER ‘ROUND and TELLTALES and six of the stories for THE GENTLE GIANT, in which a version of The Tooth Fairy is Broke appeared. Until recently, Rae has been the Artist in Action at concerts for young people with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony and the Fairfax Symphony at Wolf Trap, and others, sketching on large panels of paper as music is played.
The Tooth Fairy is Broke is a John Robbins signature classic, full of warmth and wit and insight wrapped in a fantasy that tickles the funny bone of young and old alike. Owings’ full-color drawings bring Robbins characters to life.
