On the borders of the “Land o’ Dreams” and broad daylight, the real and the unreal are so strangely blended that children are puzzled to know where the boundary lies. It is from this land that the 12 illustrated stories in this volume are taken. Herein you will find stories of:
The Ghost Flower, Or The White Blackbird
The Little Yellow Moccasins
The Little Ghost Who Laughed
Titania’s Maid Of Honor
Bran, The Wolf Dog
The Corn Fairy
At The Wayside Cross
In Quest Of The Dark
The King Will Hunt To-Day
He Was A Prince
Where The River Hides Its Pearls
The Mist Lady

These stories are taken from a place  where good wishes come true: where the poor and the lonely are rich in castles and friends: and where sorrowful folk are happy. If you listen carefully, here you will hear the birds singing and children laughing, all day long. The trees are full of blossoms and fruit. The sky is always blue, the grass green and soft. Under the trees dwell the fairies, and against the blue sky you will sometimes see the sheen of angels’ wings as the flit by.

So, we invite you to curl up with this unique sliver of Fairy culture not seen in print for over a century; and immerse yourself in the tales and fables of yesteryear.
