Mrs. Harrison’s first book, “Prince Silverwings,” captured the public completely because it was, in a way, a revival of the old-fashioned fairy book, the simple little tales that young children really enjoy. This second collection of stories is written with the same idea of pleasing the smallest of readers,—direct, simple language and always, of course, the “happy ending.” The book is dedicated to “the little readers of ‘Prince Silverwings,’” and they are sure to find it quite as delightful as that charming collection. Mrs. Perkins’ pictures are original and artistic in coloring, and go admirably with the text.
“The child who has not known the delight of an acquaintance with the bright little twinkling sky fairies may be introduced by these dainty little tales unearthed by Mrs. Harrison. The illustrations are exquisite little mural plates by Lucy Fitch Perkins, and the cover design and its treatment are very attractive.”—Chicago Evening Post.
