<h2>THE OLD, OLD STORIES</h2>
<p>Here they are again, the old, old stories, the very best;
dear Cinderella, wicked old Bluebeard, tiny Thumbling,
beautiful Beauty and the ugly Beast, and a host of others. But
the old stories, I may tell you, are always new, and always
must be so, because there are new children to read them every
day, and to these, of course, these old tales might have been
written yesterday.</p>
<p>But the stories in this book are new in another way. Look
how they are clothed, look at their beautiful setting, the
wonderful <span class="pagenum"><SPAN name="page8" id="page8"></SPAN></span> pictures! Have you ever seen
such charming princes and lovely princesses, such dainty
grace and delicate feeling?</p>
<p>What would our grandfathers and grandmothers have said of
such a book! They would have thought there was magic in the
brush and pencil.</p>
<p>Surely we are favoured in this generation when we see before
us, the old, old fairy tales, which are ever new, dressed in
such a beautiful and splendid fashion!</p>
