ONCE upon a time, when Fairies were much more common than they are now, there lived a King and a Queen. Their country was close to Fairy Land, and very often the little Elves would cross over the border, and come into the King’s fields and gardens. The girl-fairies would swing out of the bells of the fuschias, and loll on the leaves, and drink the little drops of dew that fell down the stems. Here you may see all the Fairies making themselves merry at a picnic on a fuschia, and an ugly little Dwarf is climbing up the stalk. The Princess Nobody: A Tale of Fairy Land tells of the rash promise made by the king of the fairies when a dwarf offers to provide him and his queen with a much-desired child. The princess is hidden away as a young teenager in order to protect her, and at first several, and, finally, one prince encounters several obstacles in an attempt to find her and marry her. The princess disappears again after the marriage, but the story ends happily. (This paperback is fully illustrated)

The Moon Princess, a fairy tale, illus. Perkins (1905)Edith Ogden was born to Robert N. Ogden, Jr. and Sarah L Beattie, and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana; she was a “belle of cultured, aristocratic habits who acquitted herself well in the parlors of the Potter Palmers and Marshall Fields” and other Chicago notables.He was known in his political career as “Junior” because his father, Carter Henry Harrison III, had preceded him in office and had been one of Chicago's most famous mayors. Confusion arises when “Junior” is erroneously referred to as “Carter Harrison II.”) The couple celebrated the fiftieth wedding anniversary of an apparently happy marriage in 1937.

Excerpt from The Moon Princess: A Fairy TaleThe wedding was SO brilliant that the skies grew bright as day, and the splendor was reflected for many miles across the heavens. When the ceremony was over, the bride, in Shining White and silver gar ments, came forth from the circle Of her bridesmaids to bid her mother farewell.Long-limbed and graceful was this daughter Of the skies. Her finely cut features showed her high-bred race. Her blond hair hung in yellow masses to her knees, while her tender blue eyes, looking smilingly upon her mother's face, were radiant with happiness. Gliding swiftly forward she reached the throne, and there, sinking on her knees, she begged her mother's blessing.Very tenderly the Queen watched her graceful child approach and kneel, and then leaning forward she raised her to her breast and showered caresses upon her.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
