A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

ONCE upon a time, when Fairies were much more common than they are now, there lived a King and a Queen. Their country was close to Fairy Land, and very often the little Elves would cross over the border, and come into the King’s fields and gardens. The girl-fairies would swing out of the bells of the fuschias, and loll on the leaves, and drink the little drops of dew that fell down the stems. Here you may see all the Fairies making themselves merry at a picnic on a fuschia, and an ugly little Dwarf is climbing up the stalk. The Princess Nobody: A Tale of Fairy Land tells of the rash promise made by the king of the fairies when a dwarf offers to provide him and his queen with a much-desired child. The princess is hidden away as a young teenager in order to protect her, and at first several, and, finally, one prince encounters several obstacles in an attempt to find her and marry her. The princess disappears again after the marriage, but the story ends happily. (This paperback is fully illustrated)
