Book Description

Excerpt from A Christmas Gift From Fairy Land The moment he ceased his watch, the traps exhibited the same appearances every morning, and Sim found his dander getting up in such a style, that he could hardly keep from fighting with him self, having nobody else to try his prowess upon. At, first he thought of going over to his next neighbour, about twenty miles off, to see if he wouldn't accommodate him with a fight, but his mind took another direction, and he determined to catch the 'tarnal varmint, whatever it was. He contrived various means, and invented new devices, but all to no purpose, and began to meditate going ahead to some other spot farther West; when he was arrested in his purpose, by one of the strangest adventures he ever encountered in all his life.
