THE GOLD OF FAIRNILEE

By Andrew Lang

TO JEANIE LANG, LARRA

Dear Jeanie,

For you, far away on the other side of the world, I made this little tale of our own country. Your father and I have dug for treasure in the Camp of Rink, with our knives, when we were boys. We did not find it: the story will tell you why.

Are there Fairies as well as Bunyips in Australia? I hope so.

Yours always,
