About This Book

A collection of children's fairy tales set in a sunlit Golden Land, framed as a Christmas offering. The stories range from humble domestic scenes—a poor lace-maker's child and neighborhood celebrations—to pastoral and frontier images of mountains, vineyards, orange groves, and deserts, blending local color with folkloric wonder. Each tale pairs simple moral lessons and seasonal warmth with imaginative incidents and character sketches, offering accessible narratives and illustrations aimed at delighting young readers while evoking generosity, resilience, and the pleasures of holiday sharing.

FAIRY TALES
FROM
GOLD LANDS.

SECOND SERIES.

By MAY WENTWORTH.

High as the clouds are the mountains bold
That tower in the glorious Land of Gold,
And cañons dusky with twilight deep
Where a thousand mystic shadows peep.
There are vineyards graceful with trailing vine
Rich in the wealth of the rosy wine,
There are orange groves and lime trees green
That glint in the sunlight’s glowing sheen,
There are deserts yellow with priceless sand,
All these you will find in the Golden Land.
