The Second Book of Fairy Tales - Raising Funds for BBC Children in Need

This book has been especially re-published to raise funds for the BBC Children in Need Appeal.

The stories herein were originally published over a century ago.

Some will be familiar and others less so, but all are entertaining and appealing nonetheless. As to whether there are really any fairies or not, that is a difficult question. Mr. Lang never saw any himself, but he knew several people who have seen them-in the Highlands-and heard their music. If ever you are in Nether Lochaber, go to the Fairy Hill, and you may hear the music yourself, as grown-up people have done, but you must go on a fine day.

Dots Yellow, Red, and Green and Blue, And on the cover you'll see more clues - It's a Fairy Book just for YOU! Hard is the path from A to Z, And puzzling to a curly head, Yet leads to understanding it must be said. For every child should understand That letters from the first were planned To guide us into Fairy Land So labour at your Alphabet, For by that learning shall you get To lands where Fairies may be met. And going where this pathway goes, You too, at last, may find, who knows?
