This
collection of tales, gathered from the rich literature of the childhood
of the world, or from the books of the few modern men who have found
the
key of that wonderful world, is put forth not only without apology, but
with the hope that it may widen the demand for these charming reports
of
a world in which the truths of our working world are loyally upheld,
while
its hard facts are quietly but authoritatively dismissed from
attention.
The widest interpretation has been given to the fairy tale, so as to
include
many of those classic romances of childhood in which no fairy appears,
but which are invested with the air and are permeated with the glorious
freedom of fairy land.
No one can
understand the
modern world without the aid of the imagination, and as the frontiers
of
knowledge are pushed still further away from the obvious and familiar,
there will be an increasing tax on the imagination.
The world
of dead matter
which our fathers thought they understood has become a world of subtle
forces moving with inconceivable velocity; nothing is inert, all things
are transformed into other and more elusive shapes precisely as the
makers
of the fairy tales foresaw and predicted; the world lives in every atom
just as their world lived; forces lie just outside the range of
physical
sight, but entirely within the range of spiritual vision, precisely as
the tellers of these old stories divined; mystery and wonder enfold all
things, and not only evoke the full play of the mind, but flood it with
intimations and suggestions of the presence of more elusive and subtle
forces, of finer and more obedient powers, as the world of fairies,
magi
and demons enfolded the ancient earth of daily toil and danger.
