THE LILY OF LIFE
A FAIRY STORY
BY THE
QUEEN OF ROUMANIA
WITH ILLUSTRATIONS IN COLOUR BY HELEN STRATTON
"A graceful and charming work of fancy.... To every imaginative child it will prove a rich delight."—Daily Telegraph.
"It is distinctly a book to possess and delight in. The few words of preface contributed by 'Carmen Sylva' are an appreciation, expressed with true felicity, of the charm of this prose poem, and the illustrator has caught its spirit admirably."—World.
"A noble picture-book. A graceful and poetic tale marked by real talent, and not a few touches of genuine feeling. Miss Stratton's pictures are very clever and effective."—Guardian.
"Great beauty pervades it all, and every situation is so entirely picturesque. All readers of fairy lore will find it true and beautiful.... The illustrations are delightful."—Daily Express.
