Excerpt from The Book of Fairies and Fancies: A Series of Poems Sometimes it is a matter of pleasurable curiosity that prompts this inquiry: What suggests to the author's mind the novel scenes and incidents which he delineates, and where does he find the beings with Whom he peoples his little world of fancy? It was at an early hour of the morning when the author was rambling through an open forest, where the oak locked arms with the beech, and the chestnut consorted with the maple. Grasses and creeping vines, mingled with mounds of velvety moss and clumps of graceful ferns, made a pleasing variety in the green home of the woods.
