Where is the harm? The truth is that the Folk Lore Societymade up of the most clever, learned, and beautiful men and women of the countryis fond of studying the history and geography of Fairy Land. This is contained in very old tales, such as country people tell, and savages:'Little Sioux and little Crow, Little frosty Eskimo.'These people are thought to know most about fairyland and its inhabitants. But, in the Yellow Fairy Book, and the rest, are many tales by persons who are neither savages nor rustics, such as Madame D'Aulnoy and Herr Hans Christian Andersen. The Folk Lore Society, or its president, say that their tales are not so true as the rest, and should not be published with the rest. But we say that all the stories which are pleasant to read are quite true enough for us; so here they are, with pictures by Mr. Ford, and we do not think that either the pictures or the stories are likely to mislead children.
