These stories are among the most attractive of the many tales which the great French novelist wrote for her grandchildren. They are full of fancy, of vivid description, and of a keen appreciation of the best way to arouse the interest of juvenile readers. The romantic manner in which they are told lends to them the kind of enchantment which thoughtful children deeply appreciate.
