MacDonald's writing is lyrical and poetic, transporting readers to a world of enchantment and wonder. The book is a timeless tale that has captured the imaginations of readers young and old for generations.Now it is well known that the little creatures commonly called fairies, though there are many different kinds of fairies in Fairyland, have and exceeding dislike to untidiness. Indeed, they are quite spiteful to slovenly people. Being used to all the lovely ways of the trees and flowers, and to the neatness of the birds and all woodland creatures, it makes them feel miserable, even in their deep woods and on their grassy carpets, to think that within the same moonlight lies a dirty, uncomfortable, slovenly house.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
