A Year with the Fairies ebook online

TO ALL GOOD CHILDREN WHO BELIEVE IN FAIRIES

Because the Fairies of the Year love all little children they have chosen to

reveal themselves to you. They have whispered many of their secrets to the

artist and the author because, like the Fairies, both love little children.

These Fairies are very happy people whose greatest joy is planning beautiful
and delightful things for you. They are the most tender-hearted creatures
you can imagine and are never the cause of any sadness, nor do they ever
injure any of their friends of the meadows and tree-tops, and they send
a message to you, boys and girls, asking you to help protect all little living
things. Very human Fairies they are, enjoying the same sports that you do.
It is for you as much as for the Fairies that Jack Frost and Lady
Winter plan the skating rink, and Lady Spring expects just as joyous a welcome from you as from the Fairies.

So throughout the twelve months, from the time that Baby New Year
flutters down from Elfland till he sails away on the last night of the
year, a happy old man, the Fairies of the Year are planning and contriving
beautiful things for you.
