The Rainbow Book Tales of Fun and Fancy: Sixteen Fantastic Stories for Children (Illustrated)

Story-telling is the oldest of the arts—the art of which we never tire—the art which will be out-lived by none other, however fascinating, however beautiful, however perfect. It may deal with human thought and human passion; it may appeal to the highest intellect and the profoundest sentiments of men; or just to the brightest and dreamiest fancy of the young. Be it but well told, even though it does not stir our emotions, the little story delights the imagination, and makes us grateful to the teller for an hour well spent or pleasantly whiled away. That is the greatest reward of the writer, as it is the sole ambition of the author of these little tales. Some of the fairy tales in this collection are: Adventures in Wizard-land, The Little Picture Girl, The Sleeping Beauty’s Dream, The Gamekeeper’s Daughter, Father Christmas at Home, A Birthday Story, Rosella, Monica the Moon Child, and others. It is a pleasure to publish this new, high quality, and affordable edition of these fantastic tales.
