Excerpt from Fairy Favours, and Other TalesA'r a time when fairies not only played their gambols abroad, but entered the dwellings of the rich, and haunted the cottages of the poor, for purposes either of good or of ill, as best suited the dispositions of these tiny meddlers, or rather the character of those on whom they would exer cise their power, there lived a poor but industrious couple. Of the name of Martyn. They had one little girl, called Ellen, of whom both father and mother were extremely fond; yet this child, though their greatest delight, was frequently the occasion of argument, sometimes bordering on dispute, between the husband and wife.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
