The Young and Field Literary Readers.
Book 2.
by Ella Flagg Young and Walter Taylor Field.
TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS
Dear Boys and Girls:
Do you like fairy stories?
You do not need to tell us.
We know you like them.
So we are going to give you some to read.
You may have heard some of these stories before, but not many of them.
Some have come from far across the sea, and some have come from our own country.
Mothers have told them to their children again and again, and children have never been tired of them.
We think you will like them, too.

BOOK TWO
ENGLISH FAIRY TALES
CHILDE ROWLAND
Once upon a time there was a little princess.
Her name was Ellen.
She lived with her mother the queen in a great house by the sea.
She had three brothers.
One day, as they were playing ball, one of her brothers threw the ball over the house.
Ellen ran to get it, but she did not come back.
The three brothers looked for her.
They looked and looked, but they could not find her.
Day after day went by.
At last the oldest brother went to a wise man and asked what to do.
"The princess is with the elves. She is in the Dark Tower," said the wise man.
"Where is the Dark Tower?" asked the oldest brother.
"It is far away," said the wise man. "You cannot find it."
"I can and I will find it. Tell me where it is," said the oldest brother.
The wise man told him, and the oldest brother set off at once.
The other brothers waited.
They waited long, but the oldest brother did not come back.
Then the next brother went to the wise man.
The wise man told him as he had told the oldest brother.
Then the next brother set out to find the Dark Tower.
The youngest brother waited.
He waited long, but no one came.
