"I have always had a high regard for the fairies, with all their kinsfolk, the goblins, brownies, gnomes, nymphs, dryads, elfs, nixies, pixies, wizards, and even the witches. I have always refused to believe that these happy fairy friends of ours spend their time in nothing but sipping honey-dew and dancing around toad-stools. It has been a great pleasure, therefore, to discover some of the more useful operations of the fairy folk, and to record in this book their practical pranks. These are fairy stories with a purpose. The Reflecting Face; is intended to mirror a fault or a virtue of your own. Cram may teach you to study, and Student William, to teach Jackdaw to be honest, and 'Dr. Bright's Alarm-clock' to be industrious. The Discerning Hammer; is intended to hammer a truth or two into your head, and from The Magic Counter; you may buy some notions worth having. With King Nirvus you will find out the secret of a soft bed, and with Tricephalos you will learn how to manage men. Splatzonderkoff; will become, I hope, a word of some significance in your vocabulary, and the Propulsive Pen may be allowed to do your writing. I have a high opinion of my readers, too, as well as of the fairies. I believe they will be no less pleased with these stories because they mean to do more than entertain. But I hope they will entertain. At any rate, if you go to sleep over this book you may throw it away, and I'll never say a word!" (Amos E. Wells, Boston, 1904)
