Listen in the reader

If I should see a Fairy, I should not be afraid, I know so much about them, From all that I have read.

I’ve planned how I would greet them, And what I ought to say; I’d have my Wish all ready, To save the least delay.

I sometimes feel them near me, But still I cannot see. I wonder, oh! I wonder, Are they afraid of me?

THE FLOWER PRINCESS By ABBIE FARWELL BROWN

“Here is a return to the gracefully romantic fairy stories we all used to love. Four tales of adventure in the country where the unreal touches upon the real, prettily illustrated and written with the literary skill that always appeals to the good taste of a child.”

The Outlook, New York.

“Delicate fancy and humor have gone into the making of these pretty tales for children, which prove again Miss Brown’s title to be numbered among the story-tellers mothers may depend upon.”
