Review
This is a one volume selection of a book originally published in 1892 in two volumes. Charming fairies and naughty trolls are brought alive by the lyrical prose of the narrative and by the black and white drawings of John Batten. Selected by Lucia Turnbull, this collection is a companion to Brenda Hughes New Guinea Folk Tales. (Kirkus Reviews)
