Book Description

Excerpt from Fireside Fairies, or Christmas at Aunt Elsie's Home truths in strange dresses would, perhaps, be an appropriate title for this unobtrusive volume, which, it' is hoped will meet the approbation of the little people for Whom it is expressly designed. There exists, in the minds of some parents, a strong and reasonable prejudice against Fairy Tales for children; as the extravagant imagery and im probable incidents, in which they generally abound, often mislead or bewilder the youthful imagination. But it is hoped this little book may escape such censure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
