The Fairy Book illustrated by Warwick Goble, 2nd part


THE IRON STOVE
At evening-tide she climbed up into a little tree, and purposed spending the night there, for fear of the wild beasts.
 


 THE INVISIBLE PRINCE
'Madam,' said he, 'since I have had the honour to serve you, I know not any other happiness that I can wish for'  . . .
 



THE WOODCUTTER'S DAUGHTER
These beasts of prey were instantly turned into three little lambs.......



BROTHER AND SISTER
The king took the beautiful maiden on his own horse and conducted her to his castle.
 


PUSS IN BOOTS
“You have but to give me a sack, and a pair of boots such as gentlemen wear when they go shooting.”
 


THE FAIR ONE WITH GOLDEN LOCKS

Avenant delivered up his phial; the owl flew with it into the grotto, and in less than half-an-hour reappeared, bringing it quite full and well corked.



THE BUTTERFLY
The fairy there welcomed her majesty.



THE FROG-PRINCE
The king's daughter was overjoyed when she beheld her pretty plaything again, picked it up, and ran away with it.
 


THE WHITE CAT
I was accordingly laid in a cradle of mother-of-pearl, ornamented with gold and jewels.
 


PRINCE CHERRY

He flew in, perched on her shoulder, and expressed his delight and affection by a thousand caresses.



LITTLE SNOWDROP

They were very friendly, however, and inquired her name. ' Snowdrop,' answered she.



THE BLUE BIRD
Stopping beside a fountain, she let her hair fall loose, and dipped her weary feet in the cool water.

 

THE YELLOW DWARF
There, one day, he heard a voice, and presently after was surprised by the appearance of a mermaid.

 

THE SIX SWANS
The queen threw one of the shirts over each of them, and when the shirts touched their bodies, they were changed into swans, and flew away over the wood.




THE HIND OF THE FOREST
By the care of the Fairy Tulip, she was not wounded.



THE JUNIPER-TREE
Out of the fire flew a beautiful bird, who, singing deliciously, rose up high in the air.
