NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS 1884 Copyright, 1884, by Copyright, 1884, by EDWARD EGGLESTON TROW'S PRINTING AND BOOKBINDING COMPANY, NEW YORK. PREFACE. The stories here reprinted include nearly all of those which I have written for children in a vein that entitles them to rank as "Queer Stories," that is, stories not entirely realistic in their setting but appealing to the fancy, which is so marked a trait of the minds of boys and girls.
