A wonder story which because of its.

in the course of the volume, is de
signed to make even boys like fairy

magic stone, but also of the lucky
spider, the meadow of joy, the brook
of the happy voice, the enchanted
forest, the key to a little house, and,
of course, about Christopher himself.

fine fellow. Things go well until Mrs.
Brackett's attempts to make Doll
happy begin to conflict with the same
efforts of George, who cannot under
stand why his wife should have at
once the freedom of the "new woman"
and the coddling which belong to the
"clinging vine."
