About this digital edition

How the text was made, and the printer's errors corrected

The text is Project Gutenberg’s transcription (ebook #18859), from the public-domain printed edition, made by volunteers.

For this site it was converted to Markdown: Project Gutenberg’s header and licence, the printed page numbers, and the printed table of contents were removed, and the headings were regularised so the book divides into chapters. The words of the text are as Project Gutenberg gives them.

Arthur Hughes’s illustrations come from a scan at the Internet Archive (dealingswithfair00macd_0) of Dealings with the Fairies (1867), the collection of these stories for which he drew them.
