This is a charming little story of a child whose father was caretaker of the great castle of the Wartburg, where Saint Elizabeth once had her home, with a fairy-tale interwoven, in which the roses and the ivy in the castle yard tell to the child and her playmate quaint old legends of the saint and the castle.

The Enchanted Automobile.  Translated from the French by MARY J. SAFFORD.

     Small quarto, cloth decorative, illustrated and decorated in colors
     by Edna M. Sawyer $1.00

     The enchanted automobile was sent by the fairy godmother of a lazy,
     discontented little prince and princess to take them to fairyland,
     where they might visit their old story-book favorites.

Here they find that Sleeping Beauty has become a famously busy queen; Princess Charming keeps a jewelry shop; where she sells the jewels that drop from her lips; Hop-o’-My-Thumb is a farmer, too busy even to see the children, and Little Red Riding Hood has trained the wolf into a trick animal, who performs in the city squares.

     They learn the lesson that happy people are the busy people, and
     they return home cured of their discontent and laziness.
