First publication: Macmillan & Co., December 13, 1889

Review

While an unconventrional method of introducing complex discussions on theology and philosophy, this book was very conventional in that those discussions are often challenged...by the interruption of children. Who often have very diffrent priorities of their own. An unusual combination of complex social issues as well as fun and imaginitive world of fairies and childlike wonder.
