"The Little Princess"
This is a summary of Jennifer's life before the airship crash up until after the orphanage massacre. All the blank pages represent memories that are still lost. As Gregory once offered to write a story about a princess for Jennifer, it is no surprise why the story featured her as one. This could also be attributed to the fact that she ultimately became a princess at the orphanage.
"The Unlucky Cloverfield"
Jennifer is the girl in the story, searching for "clovers" for the Gift of the Month. The first and second she lost, and the third was taken by Martha. Thus, no matter how hard she tried to find the Gift to be accepted, she kept failing.
"Sir Peter"
This is a story about the rabbit Wendy adopted to make Jennifer jealous after she met Brown. It would seem the rabbit made a mess while searching for a proper bathroom, thus causing either Hoffman to take him away or the other girls to sentence him to be hung.
"Bird of Happiness"
The bird represents a toy bird that Eleanor always carried around, in hopes that it'd bring her everlasting happines. Diana and Meg broke the bird to upset her, wrapping it in her clothes and hiding it. When she found it, she did not react at all, only threw it into the Gift Box. She then realized the idea of everlasting happiness was a joke.
"The Goat Sisters"
The little sister goat represents Meg, the big sister goat represents Diana. Though Meg loved Diand, the older girl's treatment of her slowly made that love turn to hatred.
"The Mermaid Princess"
The mermaid in the story symbolizes Diana, who longed to be a lady like Clara. But no matter how hard she tried, she was still a cruel, viscious child. She spent her life struggling to reach her own impossible ideals and become something she was not-an uncouth child becoming a beautiful lady was as unlikely as a mermaid becoming a human. Like a mermaid, she was stuck in between-neither a lady or a child, neither a human nor a fish. So close, but at the same time, so very far...
"Rag Princess Sews"
The Rag Princess in the story is Amanda. Desperate to fit in, she sews, but is still not accepted. She decides to make herself a pretty dress in hopes to make them like her, but this, too, fails. To have a "friend", she makes a doll that looks like Jennifer.
"The Funeral"
The girl in this story is Jennifer, her friend is Brown, and the "Little People" are the other orphans. This represents when Jen and Brown were made the monthly gift and Jen had to give Brown up to be buried alive in order to save her own life.
"Stray Dog and the Lying Princess"
Symbolizes the orphanage massacre. Branded a liar, Wendy brought Stray Dog to them. She possibly tried to warn them he was dangerous, but they did not believe her and were killed.
"Once Upon a Time..."
Tells the story of Wendy and Jen's downfall. They start off together, bound by their oath. Jen sees Brown and leaves Wendy all alone, breaking their oath.
