Fairy Tales, Volume 2 (of 2) by Marion Florence Lansing and Charles Copeland
"Fairy Tales, Volume 2 (of 2)" by Marion Florence Lansing is a collection of classic fairy tales compiled and edited for children, likely written in the late 19th century. The book features a selection of enchanting narratives, including well-known stories like "The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood," "The Emperor’s New Clothes," and "Clever Alice." These tales explore timeless themes of beauty, moral lessons, and the adventures of various characters, often with awhimsical touch. The opening portion of the collection begins with a preface describing the structure and intent behind the two volumes, highlighting that the stories are curated to captivate the curiosity of children while promoting moral values. The first tale, "The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood," introduces a kingdom plagued by a curse that puts a princess into a long sleep, awaiting the arrival of a brave prince to awaken her. This storyline sets the tone for the other tales, filled with magic, transformative journeys, and the eternal battle between good and evil. The book promises a blend of fantasy and moral teachings, appealing to both young readers and their guardians. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
