Fairy-stories are always delightful but they gain an additional interest when they bear the stamp of the people among whom they circulated. This is certainly the case in Miss Grierson's books. Some, of course, are of the type common to most lands, but the majority are essentially Scottish. Miss Grierson has drawn them from all sources, folk-lore, minstrelsy, and legends.
