These were the questions young Henry asked himself, having exhausted all the libraries and bookstores in his search for evermore fairy tales to read -- so delighted was he by their wonder, magic and airy improbabilities. Yet the answer to these beseeching questions would come from the very pen of this famous American naturalist and writer, Henry Beston . . . in the form of such wonderful jaunts into mystic and transformed lands as "The Queen of Lantern Land, "The City Under the Sea," and "Prince Sneeze" -- about a royal lad whose troublesome nose threatens disaster!

About the Author:
Henry Beston (1888 - 1968) was an American writer and naturalist, best known as the author of The Outermost House, written in 1928. In 1912, Beston took up teaching at the University of Lyon. In 1914 he returned to Harvard as an English department assistant. Beston joined the French army in 1915 and served as an ambulance driver. His service in le Bois le Pretre and at the Battle of Verdun was described in his first book, A Volunteer Poilu. In 1918, Beston became a press representative for the U.S. Navy. Highlights from this period include being the only American correspondent to travel with the British Grand Fleet and to be aboard an American destroyer during combat engagement and sinking. His second book of journalistic work, Full Speed Ahead, described these experiences. Following the end of World War I, Henry Beston Sheahan began writing fairy tales under the name "Henry Beston". In 1919, The Firelight Fairy Book was published, followed by The Starlight Wonder Book in 1923. During this time, he worked as an editor of The Living Age, an offshoot of The Atlantic Monthly. While he also met his future wife Elizabeth Coatsworth, a fellow author of children's literature.
