AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Fairy and moral tale. A little girl creeps out at night to meet the fairies and the brownies. Escapades follow and she meets the Queen - her dead mother in disguise who promises to help win her father back from gambling to life with the 'fairies'. Suffering, losses, poverty and ill-health follow for him until the birth of grandchildren restore him to health and joy. Fairy passages well written; moral strain a little heavy. (PB)
