Scarlet Sails
Scarlet Sails is a romantic fantasy and is described as a "fairy tale" though it contains no overtly supernatural elements.This "prince charming" tale about a little girl named Assol who meets a wizard one day.
He tells her that a ship with red sails will arrive -- sometime in the future -- to take her away to a new happy life with a dashing young prince. She holds onto this prediction in spite of taunts and the ridicule of her neighbors.
Meanwhile the son of a local nobleman grows up to become a sea captain and falls in love with Assol. Sure enough he decides the only way to win her heart is to unfurl red sails and head into port.
But there are other miracles: a smile gladness forgiveness and a word which is needed and said in time...
