PREFACE

“We wake with wrists and ankles jewelled still.”
There are many ways of entering fairyland; sometimes there is a door in the ground, and he who goes through finds himself in some great hall or carved and painted chamber. Sometimes we find the morning dew on a flower and touch the eyes with it; or, like John Dietrich, catch the cap which the fairies are flinging and put it on our own heads: and immediately the little people spring into sight, we hear the sweetness of their music and see the glitter of their hidden treasure and watch the merriness of their games.
The difficulty of the first method is to find the way, of the second to find the will; and John Dietrich’s way is the venture of confidence.
