Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Five Old Friends: And a Young Prince A kind enchantress one day put into my hand a mystic volume prettily lettered and bound in green, saying, ´I am so fond of this book. It has all the dear old fairy tales in it; one never tires of them. Do take it.´ I carried the little book away with me, and spent a very pleasant quiet evening at home by the fire, with H. at the opposite corner, and other old friends, whom I felt I had somewhat neglected of late. Jack and the Beanstalk, Puss in Boots, the gallant and quixotic Giantkiller, and dearest Cinderella, whom we every one of us must have loved, I should think, ever since we first knew her in her little brown pinafore: I wondered, as I shut them all up for the night between their green boards, what it was that made these stories so fresh and so vivid. Why did not they fall to pieces, vanish, explode, disappear, like so many of their contemporaries and descendants?
