"The Old-Fashioned Fairy Book" by Mrs. Burton Harrison is a collection of enchanting fairy tales written in the late 19th century. This captivating anthology revives the spirit of classic folklore, presenting whimsical stories filled with magic, adventure, and moral lessons. The opening chapters introduce readers to various delightful characters, including charming princesses, cunning witches, and heroic princes, set against fantastical backdrops that evoke the charm of traditional fairy tales. The beginning of this collection features a beautifully crafted introduction, hinting at the fond memories of storytelling that inspired the author. It sets the scene for the first tale, "The Princess Eglantine," where a young princess, enchanted by her jealous brother, is confined to an ivory tower. Meanwhile, a prince determined to save her learns of her plight and embarks on a quest filled with magical encounters, including a fairy who grants him invisibility powder. The subsequent stories promise adventures shaped by classic themes of courage and resilience in face of adversity, delighting readers with clever twists and intricate narratives rooted in fairy tale tradition.
