But one day, when the Queen +was walking out, she saw an immense crab, which said to her, “follow +me, great Queen, and you shall have your wish.” The Queen was very +much astonished at being thus addressed by the wonderful crab, and +for a time hesitated as to what she should do. Her desire to have a +child of her own, however, was so great, that it overcame her fears +at last, and she determined to risk everything to gain her end. She +therefore followed the crab through a secret path, until they reached +a palace built of diamonds and pearls, in front of which stood six +lovely fairies, who each presented her with a flower made of gems. +There was a rose, a tulip, a lily, a pink, a camellia, and a dahlia. + +[Illustration: Threat of the Fairy Crab.] + +[Illustration: The Princess in her Secret Palace.] + +“Madam,” said they, “you will soon have a daughter, whom you must +call ‘Desired.’ As soon as she is born, summon us by repeating the +name of each flower, and we will make her a miracle of grace and +goodness.” The happy Queen returned home, and in due time, a little +Princess was born. The fairies were sent for, and after kissing the +infant, they endowed her with wit, beauty, virtue, and every good +quality they could think of. The grateful Queen was just thanking +them for their kindness, when there entered a crab, so large that it +could scarcely get through the door. “Ah, wicked Queen,” it said, +“you have forgotten the service I rendered you, in guiding you to +my sisters; you have called _them_, and neglected _me_.” The Queen +asked her pardon for the oversight, and her sister fairies joined +their prayers to hers, but in vain. “I will not do _all_ the harm I +intended,” said the crab, “but I warn you, if the Princess sees the +light of day before she is fifteen, it will, perhaps, cost her her +life!” Her parents were much alarmed at this threat, and at length +determined to build a palace, without windows, and there to keep her +until she was past the fatal age. This was done, and the Princess +grew in knowledge and beauty until she was within a few months of +being fifteen, having never seen any light, except that from wax +candles which burned night and day. As the time grew near for her +release, her portrait was painted, and a copy sent to every court in +the world. All who saw this picture admired it, and many high and +mighty Princes asked the hand of the young Princess in marriage; but +_one_ of them fell so deeply in love with her as almost to lose his +reason. His name was Warrior, and he was the son of a great King, +whose court was not far from the country of the Princess Desired. +Prince Warrior begged his father to send an ambassador to the +Princess, and an eloquent nobleman, called Silvertongue, was selected. + +As soon as he arrived at the court of the Princess, he requested to +see her, but to his great surprise, that favor was denied him. “Do +not be offended, Lord Silvertongue,” said the King, “at our refusal +of a request which you are perfectly justified in making,” and he +then related to the nobleman the whole of the wonderful story. +Silvertongue then took leave of the King, and returned to his own +court. Great was the anguish of Prince Warrior when he found that +he could not see the Princess for three long months--for she still +lacked that much of being fifteen years old. + +The King, his father, was in despair, and Lord Silvertongue was sent +back at his utmost speed, to assure the parents of Desired that +Prince Warrior would surely die if they refused him their daughter +any longer. Now, the Princess had seen Prince Warrior’s portrait, +and was as much in love as he was; so when her mother went to see +her, and told her of the illness of the young Prince, she was very +much affected, and said: “Dearest mother, could not I go in a coach +so tightly closed that I couldn’t see daylight, and so reach my dear +Prince Warrior in safety?” The King and Queen were well pleased at +this idea, and Lord Silvertongue immediately returned with the news +to Prince Warrior. + +A coach was built, lined with pink and gold brocade, but without +glass windows, and a great nobleman was given charge of it. Then +the Princess was locked up in the coach, in company with her two +ladies-in-waiting--Clove-Flower, and Long-Nails--and at once set out, +with a strong escort, for the court of Prince Warrior. + +Now, you must know that Clove-Flower was very fond of her mistress; +but Long-Nails, who was very much in love with Prince Warrior +herself, from having seen his picture, was determined to destroy her +mistress if she could, and try to gain the Prince for herself. So on +the last day of the journey, when they were near the court of the +young Prince, Long-Nails suddenly cut open the roof of the coach, +with a large knife, and for the first time in her life, Princess +Desired saw the light of day! The moment the light touched her, she +sprang from the coach with a sad cry, and in the form of a beautiful +white Fawn, bounded into the forest, and hid herself in a dark and +gloomy thicket! + +[Illustration] + +The wicked old Crab-Fairy, who had caused all this, seemed bent upon +the destruction of the world. The thunder and lightning was so +terrible; that all the attendants ran away in their fright, except +Long-Nails and her mother; and Clove-Flower, who ran after the +Princess. Long-Nails then dressed herself in the Princess’ richest +clothes and jewels, and followed by her mother, set out for the city, +and were soon met by the King and his son. But the moment Prince +Warrior saw her, he fell back with a loud cry: “What do I see?” said +he. “Sire,” said Long-Nails’ mother boldly; “_this_ is the Princess +Desired,” (pointing to her wicked daughter,) with letters and +presents from the King and Queen. + +The Prince, with his eyes still fixed upon Long-Nails, who was as +ugly as Desired was beautiful, cried in a loud voice: “I am betrayed; +this is not the Princess Desired.” Then waving his hand, two of the +soldiers seized upon the false Princess and her mother, and locked +them up in one of the strong castles of the city. Prince Warrior +was so overcome by the shock, that he determined to leave the court +secretly; and with no companion but his faithful Silvertongue, spend +the remainder of his life in exile. They left the court at once, and +the next day found themselves in a vast forest, where the Prince +dismounted, while Silvertongue went to look for food. + +We must now return to the unhappy Fawn. Clove-Flower, as you know, +pursued her; and as soon as the Fawn saw her, she ran up eagerly +and caressed her, while the tears flowed from her lovely eyes. +Clove-Flower saw at once that the Fawn was her dear mistress. Just +then the fairy Tulip, who had been at the birth of the Princess, +and pitied her sad condition, appeared on the scene. Clove-Flower +entreated the fairy to restore the Princess to her natural form. “I +cannot do _that_,” said she, “but I can soften her punishment. When +night comes, she will regain her form, until the morning, when she +must again roam the fields and forests. Proceed by this path till you +come to a cottage where you can get food and shelter.” + +They followed her directions, and soon found the cottage, where a +nice old woman gave them an inner room, in which were two pretty +beds. As soon as night came, Desired ceased to be a Fawn; and they +lay down in each other’s arms, and slept with many tears. But as soon +as it was daylight, the Princess became a Fawn once more; and at once +left the cottage, and fled into the woods. Meanwhile, Silvertongue +had arrived at the cottage, in search of food, where the old woman +not only filled a basket for him, but offered them a shelter for the +night, which he accepted. + +The Prince slept badly, and as soon as it was morning, _he_ also went +out into the wood; and after wandering about sadly for a long time, +began to feel weary, and lay down under a tree to rest. He soon fell +asleep, and began to dream of the lost Princess. Just then the White +Fawn came to the same spot, and as she looked at the sleeping Prince, +(whom, of course, she knew at once from his picture;) she could not +help heaving a deep sigh of love and despair! The Prince was awakened +by the sound, and springing up with surprise, fitted an arrow to his +bow; and as the frightened Fawn flew swiftly away in the wood, he let +fly the arrow from the string; which wounded her slightly in the leg, +and brought her panting and bleeding to the ground. + +[Illustration: Prince Warrior Wounding the Fawn.] + +[Illustration: The Prince Captures the Fawn.] + +The Prince soon came up, and when he saw the look of fear and pain +in her soft eyes, his heart was moved to pity; and he was sorry +for what he had done. He caressed her tenderly, and gathering some +herbs, bound them around her leg; and then making her a soft bed of +leaves, he went to look for Silvertongue, to assist him in getting +the Fawn to the cottage. As soon as the Prince was out of sight, +Clove-Flower, who had been looking for her mistress, came up in great +distress, and was trying to get the Fawn upon her feet, when the +Prince and Silvertongue returned, and claimed her as their own. “My +lord,” said Clove-Flower, “this Fawn belonged to me, before she did +to you; and I would sooner lose my life than her;” and upon this, +the Prince at once gave her up to Clove-Flower, and assisted her in +carrying the Fawn to the cottage. + +Silvertongue then told the Prince that he had seen Clove-Flower at +the court of, and in attendance upon, Desired. The Prince was amazed, +and to satisfy himself, made a small hole in the wall, and looked +through. It was now after dark, and the Princess had regained her +form. She lay on the bed weeping sadly, and saying with many sighs: +“Alas! must I become a Fawn again, and see him whom I love, without +being able to speak to him.” This was enough. They knocked gently +at the door, and in a moment the Prince was at the Princess’ feet, +declaring his love and devotion. Just then the noise of trumpets was +heard without, and the King, who was searching for his son, entered +the cottage. + +All this was brought about by the fairy Tulip. _She_ was the old +woman, and the cottage was _hers_. The Princess was carried to the +court of Prince Warrior in a close carriage, and kept in darkness +until she reached the age of fifteen, which was now close at hand. +The marriage was then celebrated with great splendor, and was +rendered more brilliant by the presence of the six fairies who +had presided at her birth; and by the wedding of Silvertongue and +Clove-Flower, who were married at the same time. + + + + + =AMUSING AND INSTRUCTIVE PICTURE BOOKS FOR CHILDREN.= + + + THE CALDECOTT SERIES, + + Comprising the diverting Histories of + + =John Gilpin’s Ride to Ware.= + =The House that Jack Built.= + =The Mad Dog.= + =The Babes in the Wood.= + +4to., 32 pages.

The +<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_6"></a><a id="Page_7"></a><a id="Page_8"></a></span>thunder and lightning was so terrible; that all the attendants +ran away in their fright, except Long-Nails and her +mother; and Clove-Flower, who ran after the Princess. +Long-Nails then dressed herself in the Princess’ richest +clothes and jewels, and followed by her mother, set out +for the city, and were soon met by the King and his son. +But the moment Prince Warrior saw her, he fell back +with a loud cry: “What do I see?” said he. “Sire,” +said Long-Nails’ mother boldly; “<em>this</em> is the Princess +Desired,” (pointing to her wicked daughter,) with letters +and presents from the King and Queen.</p> + +<p class="tall">The Prince, with his eyes still fixed upon Long-Nails, +who was as ugly as Desired was beautiful, cried in a loud +voice: “I am betrayed; this is not the Princess Desired.” +Then waving his hand, two of the soldiers seized upon +the false Princess and her mother, and locked them up +in one of the strong castles of the city. Prince Warrior +was so overcome by the shock, that he determined to +leave the court secretly; and with no companion but his +faithful Silvertongue, <a id=“chg2”></a>spend the remainder of his life in +exile. They left the court at once, and the next day +found themselves in a vast forest, where the Prince dismounted, +while Silvertongue went to look for food.</p> + +<p class="tall">We must now return to the unhappy Fawn. Clove-Flower, +as you know, pursued her; and as soon as the +Fawn saw her, she ran up eagerly and caressed her, while +the tears flowed from her lovely eyes. Clove-Flower saw +at once that the Fawn was her dear mistress. Just then +the fairy Tulip, who had been at the birth of the Princess, +and pitied her sad condition, appeared on the scene. +Clove-Flower entreated the fairy to restore the Princess to +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_9"></span>her natural form. “I cannot do <em>that</em>,” said she, “but I can +soften her punishment. When night comes, she will +regain her form, until the morning, when she must again +roam the fields and forests. Proceed by this path till you +come to a cottage where you can get food and shelter.”</p> + +<p class="tall">They followed her directions, and soon found the +cottage, where a nice old woman gave them an inner +room, in which were two pretty beds. As soon as night +came, Desired ceased to be a Fawn; and they lay down +in each other’s arms, and slept with many tears. But as +soon as it was daylight, the Princess became a Fawn +once more; and at once left the cottage, and fled into the +woods. Meanwhile, Silvertongue had arrived at the +cottage, in search of food, <a id=“chg3”></a>where the old woman not +only filled a basket for him, but offered them a shelter +for the night, which he accepted.</p> + +<p class="tall">The Prince slept badly, and as soon as it was morning, +<em>he</em> also went out into the wood; and after wandering about +sadly for a long time, began to feel weary, and lay down +under a tree to rest. He soon fell asleep, and began to +dream of the lost Princess. Just then the White Fawn +came to the same spot, and as she looked at the sleeping +Prince, (whom, of course, she knew at once from his +picture;) she could not help heaving a deep sigh of love +and despair! The Prince was awakened by the sound, and +springing up with surprise, fitted an arrow to his bow; +and as the frightened Fawn flew swiftly away in the +wood, he let fly the arrow from the string; which wounded +her slightly in the leg, and brought her panting and +bleeding to the ground.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp52" id="i_011" style="max-width: 30.5625em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/i_011.jpg" alt="Wounding Fawn"> + <figcaption> + Prince Warrior Wounding the Fawn. + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp52" id="i_012" style="max-width: 30.5em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/i_012.jpg" alt="Capture Fawn"> + <figcaption> + The Prince Captures the Fawn. + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<p class="tall">The Prince soon came up, and when he saw the look +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_10"></span>of fear and pain in her soft eyes, his heart was moved +to pity; and he was sorry for what he had done. He +caressed her tenderly, and gathering some herbs, bound +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_11"></span>them around her leg; and then making her a soft bed +of leaves, he went to look for Silvertongue, to assist +him in getting the Fawn to the cottage. As soon as +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_12"></span>the Prince was out of sight, Clove-Flower, who had +been looking for her mistress, came up in great distress, +and was trying to get the Fawn upon her feet, when the +Prince and Silvertongue returned, and claimed her as +their own. “My lord,” said Clove-Flower, “this Fawn +belonged to me, before she did to you; and I would +sooner lose my life than her;” and upon this, the Prince +at once gave her up to Clove-Flower, and assisted her in +carrying the Fawn to the cottage.</p> + +<p class="tall">Silvertongue then told the Prince that he had seen +Clove-Flower at the court of, and in attendance upon, +Desired. The Prince was amazed, and to satisfy himself, +made a small hole in the wall, and looked through. It +was now after dark, and the Princess had regained her +form. She lay on the bed weeping sadly, and saying +with many sighs: “Alas! must I become a Fawn again, +and see him whom I love, without being able to speak +to him.” This was enough. They knocked gently at the +door, and in a moment the Prince was at the Princess’ +feet, declaring his love and devotion. Just then the noise +of trumpets was heard without, and the King, who was +searching for his son, entered the cottage.</p> + +<p class="tall">All this was brought about by the fairy Tulip. <em>She</em> was +the old woman, and the cottage was <em>hers</em>. The Princess was +carried to the court of Prince Warrior in a close carriage, +and kept in darkness until she reached the age of fifteen, +which was now close at hand. The marriage was then +celebrated with great splendor, and was rendered more +brilliant by the presence of the six fairies who had presided +at her birth; and by the wedding of Silvertongue +and Clove-Flower, who were married at the same time.</p> + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> + +<div class="chapter box"> +<p class="center"> +<span class="u sansserif muchlarger"><b>AMUSING AND INSTRUCTIVE PICTURE BOOKS FOR CHILDREN.</b></span></p> +<p class="center"><span class="muchlarger smcap">The</span> <span class="muchlarger">CALDECOTT SERIES,</span><br> +<span class="smaller">Comprising the diverting Histories of</span> +</p> + +<ul> + <li><b>John Gilpin’s Ride to Ware.</b></li> + <li><b>The House that Jack Built.</b></li> + <li><b>The Mad Dog.</b></li> + <li><b>The Babes in the Wood.</b></li> +</ul> + +<p class="center smaller"> +<abbr title="quarto">4to.</abbr>, 32 pages.
