About This Book

A collection of six short tales interweaves the secret life of fairies with the everyday experiences of children, alternating scenes of enchanted gatherings, a midsummer ball, and fairy councils with the children’s journeys, games, and an outing to Idlewild. One strand follows fairies who seek to ease a sick boy’s decline by giving him comforting dreams; other episodes depict dances, a stag dance, a fairy battle, and the sorrow surrounding a child’s death. The stories blend whimsical description, gentle moralizing, and domestic warmth aimed at young readers.
