“Mr. Rhys has retold many legends and fairy tales of the semi-mythical days in England.” (Outlook.) “The first part contains old favorites, of many of which the editor has found new versions; the second part consists of shorter fables and stories; and the third of fairy tales, and poems from Browning, Elia, Keats, Tom Hood and others. The book is daintily gotten up and Mr. Herbert Cole’s illustrations are excellent.” (Acad.)
