"This confession tells, all too plainly, that I have taken my good things (if good they be) where I happened to find them: but the following pages may suggest to some young writer of Genius that there is not only a crying need for Fairy Tales of the Crinoline period but an Artist waiting for him to rise up and supply it."
ARTHUR QUILLER-COUCH.
