The Counterpane Fairy
About this book
A collection of fairy tales in which a small fairy visits a sick child confined to bed and turns the pictures on his quilt into stories. Suitable for children and readers interested in classic late-Victorian fantasy literature.
Note: This is a children's fantasy/fairy-tale work (originally published 1898), not science, so the listed subject area appears to be incorrect.
