Preface

Once upon a time I visited Fairy land and spent a day in Goblin town. The people there are much like ourselves, only they are very, very small and roguish. They play pranks on one another and have great fun. They are good natured and jolly, and rarely get angry. But if one does get angry, he quickly recovers his good nature and joins again in the sport.

If a Goblin should continue angry he would take on some visible form.

But, if he keeps good natured, he can come here and have his fun, and not be seen by any one except a Seer, or very wise person.

The Goblins are gracious to the wise people now, but they were not always so. A long, long time ago, on a Christmas eve, the Fairy folk were having great sport. All the little people of the Unseen world had gathered together in the Earth realm... Continue reading book >>
