THE PEACOCK AND THE WISHING-FAIRY WITH ILLUSTRATION BY DUGALD STEWART WALKER, First Part

Dugald Stewart Walker (1883-1937) was an American artist associated with the Golden Age of Illustration. 







 

"What is Stella like?" asked the Peacock. "She is perfectly beautiful," the Squirrel answered. "She is the prettiest thing I have ever seen." 


"I am going to punish for never being satisfied; for always asking for more"

They all sat around and thought and thought for severa1 minutes, but they could not think how the Peacock could possibly be prettier.


He leaned away over the water, just as Stella had told him to, and he found that he could see himself just as well as you can see yourself in a mirror. He stayed there a long time looking at his crown and admiring himself.












Stella was coming nearer and nearer to them on her Butterfly.








The Turtle going patiently along with Mrs. Frog riding on her back.


"Don't worry, Mrs. Frog's mouth is no larger than yours."
