Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Laboulaye's Fairy Book: Fairy Tales of All Nations
In his preface to the first American edition Laboulaye writes a letter to Mlle. Gabrielle Laboulaye, aged two! In it he says: When you throw away this book with your doll, do not be too severe with your old grandfather for wasting his time on such tri?es as fairy stories. Experience will teach you that the truest and sweetest things in life are not those which we see, but of which we dream. Happy the children who have this philosophy set before them early in life.
