"Harper's Round Table, September 22, 1896" by Various is a collection of illustrated articles and stories published in the late 19th century. This anthology offers a variety of texts, including fictional narratives and scientific features, likely aimed at a younger audience or family readership during this era. The charming and whimsical tale of "Wymps" by Evelyn Sharp is particularly noteworthy, introducing readers to the adventures of Lady Daffany and a mischievous Wymp at a royal banquet, providing insights into themes of inclusion and the consequences of exclusion. At the start of this volume, an enchanting story unfolds surrounding Lady Daffany, who is betrothed to a prince amid joyous celebrations. During the royal banquet, the festivities are interrupted by a Wymp—an unexpected visitor who insists that his kind has been unfairly omitted from the celebrations. This intrusion leads to a humorous and thought-provoking exploration of social dynamics, as the prince becomes cursed with the "gift" of frank honesty, causing unrest among the court. As the narrative progresses, Lady Daffany’s kindness and bravery are tested as she embarks on a quest to intercede for the prince with the Wymps, showcasing innocence and determination in an enchanting fairy-tale setting.
