Author Description

Excerpt from The Blue Fairy Book Blue Beard, ' that little tragic and dramatic masterpiece, moves me yet; I still tremble for Puss in Boots when the ogre turns into a lion and still one's heart goes with the girl who Seeks her lost and enchanted lover, and wins him again in the third night Of watching and Of tears. This may not seem a taste to be proud of, but it is a taste to be grateful for, like the love Of any other thing that is Old and plain, and dallies with the simplicity Of love.
