The question is often asked me whether Twinkle and Chubbins were
asleep or awake when they encountered these wonderful adventures;
and it grieves me to reflect that the modern child has been
deprived of fairy tales to such an extent that it does not know --
as I did when a girl -- that in a fairy story it does not matter
whether one is awake or not. You must accept it as you would a
fragrant breeze that cools your brow, a draft of sweet water, or
the delicious flavor of a strawberry, and be grateful for the
pleasure it brings you, without stopping to question too closely
its source.
For my part I am glad if my stories serve to while away a
pleasant hour before bedtime or keep one contented on a rainy day.
In this way they are sure to be useful, and if a little tenderness
for the helpless animals and birds is acquired with the amusement,
the value of the tales will be doubled.
