Description:Excerpt from The Peacock and the Wishing-Fairy: And Other Stories Tell a child stories of legends and of fairies, so that he can hear the music of the little creatures of the woods, and can sense the throbbing of the flowers' hearts; and you will have given him something that will tint his whole life with beauty - a beauty which sordid details of the world can not smother. The young mind should early be impregnated with the poetry of nature; for without doubt the impressions of babyhood remain the most poignant of life. It is my conviction that only by constant repetition in the simple and direct wording familiar to a child can big underlying truths be accentuated in his forming mind. With this in view I have tried in the following sketches to establish a certain animal fellowship, including a moral significance which the little one will unconsciously accept. I should like to see in every nursery a song-bird, a bowl of fish and a pot of growing flowers, - and without, the wide, wild fields and woods.
