_Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen has won for himself a reputation
      as a teller of fairy-tales._ "_His powers_," _says the_
      TIMES, "_are of a very high order; light and
      brilliant narrative flows from his pen, and is fed by an
      invention as graceful as it is inexhaustible_." "_Children
      reading his stories_," _the_ SCOTSMAN _says_, "_or
      hearing them read, will have their minds refreshed and
      invigorated as much as their bodies would be by abundance
      of fresh air and exercise_."

      of fairy tales which we have ever read.... We cannot
