Synopsis

THE Warden, a tall dignified man with a grave but very pleasant face, was seated before a writing-table, which was covered with papers, and holding on his knee one of the sweetest and loveliest little maidens it has ever been my lot to see.

Suitable for most readers 6 and up.

A gentle Victorian-era fantasy that blends whimsical fairy-tale elements with philosophical musings. No concerning content, though the old-fashioned writing style and structure may challenge modern young readers.
