"Now, these little folks, like most girls and boy
Loved fairy tales even better than toys.
••••
And they knew that in flowers on the spray
Tiny spirits are hidden away,
That frisk at night on the forest green,
When earth is bathed in dewy sheen—
And shining halls of pearl and gem,
The Regions of Fancy—were open to them."
. . . ."just as any little child has been guided towards the true paradise by its fairy dreams of bliss."—E. A. Abbott.
