"This book will please every type of Boy or Girl for it contains stories and poems of a widely varying nature. There are the old fables of many countries told by the most famous of their authors such as " The Birds' Tale " by Karel Capek, the " Elfin Hillock " by Hans Andersen and the famous Nutcracker and Mouse King " by E. T. A. Hoffmann. The most famous of the English authors of children's stories are well represented.
George McDonald contributes one of the loveliest of his fairy tales and so does Walter De La Mare. Charles Dickens appears in a rather different character with his amusing stories of really wicked small boys who organise pirate gangs and secret societies."
