The stories in this volume are: The enchanted castle The fair maids of february The loveless youth The wind flower The fate of hyacinthus St. leonard and the fiery snake A fair prisoner The ungrateful traveler The star of bethlehem The angel's gift The holy hay The search for gold The flower fairies One very old writer tells us that he knew of forty-six flowers by which he could tell the time, and since then a great many more have been discovered. These time-keepers open and shut their blossoms at exactly the same time each day, and every hour of the day or night some flower opens and closes its petals. And those who love fairies know that they have much to do with the flowers, and while to some they may seem very trifling occupations—this writing and reading about fairies—yet "Another sort there be, that will Be talking of the Fairies still; Nor never can they have their fill As they were wedded to them." ============ KEYWORDS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, fables, the enchanted castle, fair maids, February, loveless youth, wind flower, fate, hyacinth, st. leonard, fiery, snake, fair prisoner, ungrateful, traveller, star of Bethlehem, angel's gift, holy hay, search, gold, flower fairies, blossoms, spring, summer, illustrated, illustrations
