That winds about the Ferny brae,
That is the road to bonnie Elfland,
Where thou and I this night maun gae."

PREFACE.
As the title of this story-book may possibly suggest that the tales
are old fairy tales told afresh, it seems well to explain that this is
not so.
Except for the use of common "properties" of Fairy Drama, and a
scrupulous endeavour to conform to tradition in local colour and
detail, the stories are all new.
