Excerpt from The Fairy-Craft of Nature Lucilla. - 'Oh mamma, how I wish you would tell me a story before I go to bed - but do let it be a story in which there are some fairies.' Mother. - 'Then it is not a true story that you wish for?' Lucilla. - 'Well, mamma, I do like a true story very much, - and yet a fairy tale is so pretty! It is so pleasant to hear about genii, and about fairies and enchanters: now true stories do not say anything about fairies, so I think, dear mamma, I should like a fairy tale best, if you please.' Mother. - 'But suppose I were to tell you a true story as full of marvels as any fairy tale?' Lucilla. - 'Oh, that would be delightful! But how could you do that, mamma? You have often told me that fairies and enchanters were only imaginary beings, and did not really exist.' Mother. - 'And I told you what was the truth, my child. But there is a Being who works far greater marvels than any you ever read of in your fairy tales, one whose power is shewn not only in great things, but also in the most minute details.
