My Darling Children:
I wrote these stories, as I have already told you, some years ago, and took a great deal of pains with them. I called them Life Among the Children; when, lo and behold! somebody else had written a book with the very same name, but very different stories, and I never knew one word about it.
You may believe how sorry I was to take this pretty title when it belonged to another; and I was very thankful that I could get at the printer and have it changed.
What do you think of The Doll's Wedding for a name? I like it very much, because Lily, whose dolls were married, is one of my particular pets; and what I have related, took place precisely as you read it. Lily is a funny darling; she had a doll's regatta once, and I do believe, in my next book, I will tell you all about it.
Meanwhile, if you will only laugh and grow fat as Lily does, and above all, try to be good and lovely as Maggie the Child Heroine is, I will write stories to interest you until my fingers feel as if they were all thumbs; for that is just how they do feel when they are very tired.
I wish I knew you all. I believe about three hundred children call me Aunt Fanny now, but I have room in my heart for ever, ever so many more. You see I have a patent elastic heart; and when you would think it was so crowded that a small doll could not squeeze in, if you only try, you would find there was plenty of room for one more , and that one would be you.
