The diligent reader will fall in love with Prudy set in Portland, Maine.. She is such a wonderful character. Released in 1863, Little Prudy won rave reviews from the Springfield Republican and other New England papers, and its sequels had the same success. Despite the straightforward Victorian English (May has been called the Dickens of the Nursery, and justly so), some of the language has grown unfamiliar

White visiting her aunt in Indiana, Little Prudy listened to fairy stories to distract her from the pesky mosquitoes. Chapter titles include:

• Wild Robin (a Scottish boy is stolen by the Fairies) 
• The Vesper Star 
• The Water-Kelpie 
• The Lost Sylphid 
• The Castle of Gems 
• The Elf of Light (Nordic story, with mention of Odin, Loki, and Trolls) 
• The Princess Hilda 
• Goldilocks (NOT "... and the 3 Bears")

LOVE these very traditional folktales.
