Fairy stories are always delightful; but they gain an additional interest when they bear the stamp of the people among whom they circulated. This is certainly the case in Miss Grierson's book. Some, of course, are of the type common to most lands, but the majority are essentially Scottish. The writer has drawn them from all sources, folk-lore, minstrelsy, and legend. And many less well known will soon be popular among children all over the world. Scottish fairy tales find adventures that will not leave anyone indifferent. It is a tale about man that worked in the fields, and had a wife, and a son, and a daughter. One day he caught a hare, and took it home to his wife, and asked her to make it ready for his dinner. While she was cooking she tasted and tasted a hare, till she had ate it, and she did not know what to do for her husband's dinner. Will the husband be hungry or she feed him?
