Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Stoddard Library, Vol. 7: A Thousand Hours of Entertainment With the World's Great Writers; Illustrated
The Prince Royal, seeing the bird thus transfixed with the arrow, and fallen to the ground, took it with both his hands, and sitting down, with his knees crossed, he rested it in his lap, and with his own soft and glossy hand, smooth and pliable as the leaf of the plantain, his left hand holding it, with his right hand he drew forth the arrow, and anointed the wound with oil and honey.
