lfy DEAR L1TTLE FRIENDS :-You can never guess ho""", much I have enjoyed ,vriting these storl es of the night-time, and I must tell you how' I first came to think of doing so. I once knev a girland she was not a very little girl, either,~ ·who ·was afraid of the dark. And I have known three boys 'Tho vvcre as brave as could be by dayligh t~ but -vho ·would not run on an errand a 1 on e after the lamps vere lighted. They never seelned to think what a beautiful, restful, groving ti!ne the night is for plants and animals, and even for thelnselves. I thought that if they knev lllore of 'v hat happens between sunset and sunrise they vlould love the night as ,veIl as 1. It may be that you will never see Bats flying freely, or find the Ovls ix.
