NOTE BY THE PUBLISHER
Very few of the twenty fairy tales included in this volume have been
presented before in an English dress; this will doubtless enhance
their value in the eyes of the young folk, for whom, principally, they
are intended. It is hoped that older readers will find some additional
interest in tracing throughout the many evidences of kinship between
these stories and those of more pronounced Eastern origin. The translation has been carefully revised by a well known writer, who
has interfered as little as possible with the original text, except in
those instances where slight alterations were necessary. The illustrations speak for themselves, and are what might have been
expected from the artist who designed those for the "Lullabies of Many
Lands," issued last Christmas. November 1895.
