"
Her father wanted her to move slowly about and be dignified.
Flutterfly was a little princess, and her true name—much too long and hard for common use—was reserved for state occasions. Her father, the king, was a cold and dignified person, who was often much annoyed by the playfulness of little Flutterfly, and when one day she stole away from the palace to go skating with the pages, he threatened her with heavy punishment. First he locked her up in her own room, but that very night her window was magically changed into the opening of a fairy world, through which she went into Freezeland. The rest of the story tells how she encountered Jack Frost, how she was befriended by a Giraffe, a Swan, and a marvelous Horse, how she came to the ice palace of King Crystal, and how finally after many adventures she safely reached home again. And there she lived happily ever after, for Love had transformed the sorrowing King.
The book is most attractively illustrated in color by Miss Emily Hall Chamberlin, whose work is well known to the readers of juvenile literature.
