The book of Elves and Fairies

OLD WINTER'S FAIRYLAND 421

The hinds drop in
From fold and pen,
And graver men
From labours;
And maids who spin
And catch perchance
With smile and glance

Their neighbours;

The dame is there, and reverend sire,
And children clustering round the fire.

They quaff their ale,

Their pipes they fill.

And he, who has skill

In numbers,

Prolongs the tale;

The wheel goes round
With a drowsy sound
And slumbers.

The humming stoup goes round and round,

Till their heads go round, as the wheel goes round;

And sleep and silence go their round.
And the Fairy Summer underground

Blooms all night long in

Sleep till morning,

Buds and blossoms, without a sound.

TALES OF THE

PERSIAN GENII

BY

FRANCES JENKINS
OLCOTT

Author of "Bible Stories to Read and Tell,"
" Good Stories for Great Holidays" etc.

Like the Arabian Nights, these wonder
tales retold from the Persian are rich
with Oriental color and splendor. They
tell of good genii, wicked marids, flying
afrites, fairies, witches, and enchanters.
The stories are told with the detail that
delights the imagination of boys and
girls, for Miss Olcott, with the ex-
perience she has gained as head of the
Children's Department of the Carnegie
Library of Pittsburg, knows what sort
cf stories interest children most, and
how to tell them.

The book is profusely and beautifully

illustrated in full color by Willy Pogany,
the well-known Hungarian artist.
