A CHILDREN'S STORYBOOK by EDWARD HUGESSEN KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN.
The Mountain Sprite's Kingdom and Other Stories, by BRITISH author EDWARD HUGESSEN KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN is a book of short stories of medieval adventures and fairy tales, first published in 1881 in the UNITED KINGDOM.
Classic adventure stories for children, filled with thrilling adventure and fairy mysteries.
Some people, of course, will tell you that it is all nonsense, and that there are no such things as sprites and fairies, but then those are the people who do not like the children to make a noise, and are always grave and quiet and wise themselves, and to such people fairies do not care to come, and therefore, as they never see them, it is perhaps natural that they should not believe in their existence. But those who read this little story will see at once that there inst be fairies and sprites, because otherwise the things of which I am going to tell you could never really have happened. And if these things had never happened, how could old Karl the woodman have ever told them to me so that I could write them down for the children to read ? It was not so very long ago, either, though I forgot to ask the exact date, but I know it was in the days when England was an island, and English people could not come to the continent of Europe without crossing the sea in a ship or boat. So you see things have not changed so very greatly, and if we knew the whole truth, there may be fairies and all kinds of wonderful beings at this very moment in the place which was the scene of my story.'
