The Moon Princess comes down to Earth, wedding guests visit the caves of ocean, and fairies are changed into mocking-birds, a garland of enchantment for children.

Edith Ogden Harrison's 1905 book, illustrated by Lucy Fitch Perkins, is a lovely fairy tale for children. Whimsical, tender, gracefully told. Read it for a charming storybook of celestial princesses, ocean caves, and rainbow sisters, a warm turn-of-the-century wonder-tale from the pen of a Chicago mayor's wife.
