Annie F. Johnston 39 min read

A princess to be rescued, a gallant prince, and fairyland magic, all in a charming little fairy play written to be acted out by children and grown-ups alike.

Annie Fellows Johnston's 1902 fairy play, by the author of 'The Little Colonel,' is a delightful piece for young performers. Whimsical, tuneful, of its era. Read it for a genial storybook drama, complete with music, meant to be staged in the parlor or schoolroom, a rescue, a romance, and old-fashioned fairy-tale fun.
