Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Miscellanea During my sister´s girlhood we had a family MS. Magazine (as our Mother had done in her young days), and two of the stories in Mrs. Gatty´s "Aunt Judy´s Letters," The Flatlands Fun Gazette and The Black Bag, were founded on this custom, Mrs. Ewing being the typical Aunt Judy of the book. Mrs. Gatty described how the children were called upon each to contribute a tale for The Black Bag, and how No.5 remonstrated by saying - "I´ve been sitting over the fire this evening trying to think, but what could come, with only the coals and the fire-place before one to look at? I dare say neither Hans Andersen nor Grimm nor any of those fellows would have written anything, if they had not gone about into caves and forests and those sort of places, or boated in the North Seas! Aunt Judy replied that she also had been looking into the fire, and the longer she did so, the more she decided "that Hans Andersen was not beholden to caves or forests or any curious things or people for his story-telling inspirations;" but as it was difficult for the "little ones" to write she enclosed three tales as "jokes, imitations, in fact, of the Andersenian power of spinning gold threads out of old tow-ropes."
