Published in 1904 and dedicated to three little boys and three little girls, this collection gathers eight original fairy stories. A sorcerer’s sons go wooing two princesses of Japan, a king grows so lovesick over Moonflower that he can neither eat nor sleep, and other tales tell of a peacock’s tail, a pelican, cherry trees, and Jack Frost for the very youngest listeners.
