THE ROSE AND THE RING by William Makepeace Thackeray

Between the kingdoms of Paflagonia and Crim Tartary, there lived a mysterious personage, who was known in those countries as the Fairy Blackstick, from the ebony wand or crutch which she carried; on which she rode to the moon sometimes, or upon other excursions of business or pleasure, and with which she performed her wonders. When she was young, and had been first taught the art of conjuring by the necromancer, her father, she was always practicing her skill, whizzing about from one kingdom to another upon her black stick, and conferring her fairy favors upon this Prince or that.

Reylo vibe recommendation by @ewa-jednak-chce-spac who says: “This book gives me Reylo vibes due to the fact that the main romantic couple is a prince and a servant girl. He’s the rightful heir to the throne (stolen by his uncle) and a servant girl (later she turns out to be a lost princess from another kingdom). He’s the rightful heir to the throne (stolen by his uncle). The servant girl later turns out to be a lost princess from another kingdom. So it gives me Reylo vibes mostly because of the forbidden love between a guy from royality and a poor girl. 😉

There are some adaptations of this book, including a Polish TV series from 1980s. A piece of trivia: In the Anglo-Saxon world this book is treated (as it was intended) as a satirical book, while in Poland it’s treated as a fairytale story for children. ;)”
