Books with author Fanny Barrow

“Delightful; the best children’s book this year.” -The Daily Chronicle “Certainly as good specimens of the modern fairy tale as any that we have ever seen.” -The Spectator “This book should afford capital amusement for children during long winter evenings. They are, as the writer says, bubbles blown with the soap of imagination, her pipe being merely a humble black pen. Still she has done well with these materials, and the stories – fairy and others – are humorous and quaint, and will surely tickle the fancy of the children.” -The Publishers' Circular and Booksellers' Record of British and Foreign Literature, Volume 57, July, 1892 “A book of brightly told fairy stories for the little children. They are not overstrained or unhealthful as such stories go; neither are they loaded down with any transparent purpose, but are just pleasant stories about impossible things – such manifestly impossible things as to be safer than half-truths. If it is right or wise to allow children to imagine trolls and imps in the invisible world about them, these stories are among the best of their kind. They are of the Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland type and children will devour them eagerly.” -Primary Education, Volume 9, January, 1901 “Contains eighteen short stories, any one of which, we think, will be found sufficient for an evening’s entertainment to several young people.” -The Church Standard, Volume 80, November 3, 1900 “A treasury of stories, historical and other.” -The Dial, Volume 29, July, 1900 “They are pretty stories.” -British Medical Journal, Volume 2, July, 1892
