Kavanaghs’ Pearl Fountain,
And other Fairy Stories. By Bridget and Julia Kavanagh. With Thirty Illustrations by J. Moyr Smith.
“Genuine new fairy stories of the old type, some of them as delightful as the best of Grimm’s ‘German Popular Stories.’... For the most part, the stories are downright, thorough-going fairy stories of the most admirable kind.... Mr. Moyr Smith’s illustrations, too, are admirable. Look at that white rabbit. Anyone would see at the first glance that he is a rabbit with a mind, and a very uncommon mind too—that he is a fairy rabbit, and that he is posing as chief adviser to some one—without reading even a word of the story. Again, notice the fairy-like effect of the little picture of the fairy-bird ‘Don’t-forget-me,’ flying away back into fairy-land. A more perfectly dream-like impression of fairy-land has hardly been given in any illustration of fairy tales within our knowledge.”—Spectator.
