    About this ebook

    A delightful collection of fairy stories by Grace C Floyd and others that is charmingly illustrated by black and white plates and line drawings of the cherubic, dimpled toddlers of Attwell. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1850s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children. About the Illustrator: Mabel Lucie Attwell was a household name during the 1930s working mostly in watercolour and pen-and-ink. The public was enthusiastic about her delicate early work and her illustrations of chubby, endearing toddlers were enormously popular, lending her much commercial success.

      The Way To Fairyland Illustrated by Mable Lucie Attwell - Grace C. Floyd

      THE RABBITS OF RAVENSHOE.

      BANG-BANG! went a gun, startling Dimples as she was picking up sticks on the common—Bang-Bang! The sound was some distance off, and no one was to be seen anywhere near; but at the moment three rabbits came scuttling out of the bracken, as fast as their little legs would carry them. Straight to Dimples they ran, much to her astonishment, for, although she was friends with most of the rabbits and wild creatures around, these were not at all like the brown bunnies of the common, for one was ivory-white; another, white and grey; and the third, a handsome, coal-black fellow, with a tail as white as snow.

      The astonishment of Dimples was still greater when all three rabbits spoke, in little, squeaky voices certainly, but still quite distinctly. Hide us! hide us! they cried. Good little girl, hide us!

      Dimples glanced around; she heard a rustling in the brushwood not far off. What could she do? Her eyes fell upon the old apple tree; it was one thick mass of green leaves, with here and there a rosy apple.
