Short excerpt: His nurse,—not his ordinary one, but the state nurse-maid,—an elegant and fashionable young lady of rank, whose duty it was to carry him to and from the chapel, had been so occupied in arranging her train with one hand, while she held the baby with the other, that she stumbled and let him fall, just at the foot of the marble staircase.

Fairy tales that have not stood the test of time,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Little Lame Prince (Hardcover)
This book of fairy tales, all involving princes, really shows its age in the writing style. The narrative style is intrusive, and the magical and fantasy elements in some of the stories are unbelievable even for the genre. While it's a good thing this Victorian-era book of stories is still available, this is not essential reading for anyone interested in children's stories or fairy tales, and would probably bore many modern young readers. The stories are not compelling enough in their own right for contemporary children to overlook the writing.
