Description
Fanny Barry wrote Soap-Bubble Stories in 1892 as a children's book for Vera, Elsie, Oskar, and eight other young readers. The frame tale opens at twilight, as children tired of blowing bubbles gather round a fire, watching snow and bare trees outside. A watcher in shadow whips up froth in a fairy basin and blows bubbles of her own, less bright than the children's, but full of stories.
Each bubble holds a tale, told in the glow of blazing logs, with elfin shadows in the corners. James Pott and Company published the book in New York. Barry, author of The Fox Family, writes with gentle fancy for bedtime reading.
