Prince Silverwings
_and Other Fairy Tales_
THIRD EDITION
Mrs. Harrison made her literary _debut_ in this very attractive volume,
which is of the kind that is sure to be always popular. There are seven
stories in the book, and they are all told in a singularly direct and
unaffected manner, with the engaging simplicity that is so appreciated
by young readers. The pictures by Mrs. Perkins are in delicate tints,
and show a charming fancy and imagination.
“The stories are set forth in simple and serene English. They have a
great deal of prettiness, and a delicate fancy wavers over them as the
sun glints on a wall. The book is in pictorial ways extraordinary ...
delicately colored, exquisitely executed fancies that make palpable the
illusive dreams of fairy land.”—_Chicago Tribune._

The Star Fairies
_and Other Tales_
Mrs. Harrison’s first book, “Prince Silverwings,” captured the public
completely because it was, in a way, a revival of the old-fashioned
fairy book, the simple little tales that young children really enjoy.
This second collection of stories is written with the same idea of
pleasing the smallest of readers,—direct, simple language and always, of
course, the “happy ending.” The book is dedicated to “the little readers
of ‘Prince Silverwings,’” and they are sure to find it quite as
delightful as that charming collection. Mrs. Perkins’ pictures are
original and artistic in coloring, and go admirably with the text.
“The child who has not known the delight of an acquaintance with the
bright little twinkling sky fairies may be introduced by these dainty
little tales unearthed by Mrs. Harrison. The illustrations are exquisite
little mural plates by Lucy Fitch Perkins, and the cover design and its
treatment are very attractive.”—_Chicago Evening Post._
