Publishers' Note:—
Did you know that the Fairies never go to a Registry Office? Did you know that when they require a Governess for two human children (orphans) who have fallen into their charge they think nothing of kidnapping a most charming girl and placing her—in The Street That Ran Away?
And did you know that this Street of old gothic gables and swinging casements, as if it had not enough mysteries of its own, goes wandering about the world with its children and their governess from London to Damascus, from the North Pole to El Dorado, running into adventures with wild beasts and queer characters till you tremble for the safety of your own tiled roof.
And did you know....
Ah, but you must read this beautiful story of enchantment to know all about the boy and girl, their charming governess, and the mysterious Street that ran away with them. No one can tell that tale save the author of the book. All we can do is to tell you no tale but a fact—the fact that here is a really lovely and wonderful book which the children of the world will take to their hearts and remember when they have children of their own clamouring for a story.
