INTRODUCTION.

       Table of Contents

      Dr. Corbett, Bishop of Oxford and Norwich, lamented long ago the departure of the English fairies. "In Queen Mary's time" he wrote—

      "When Tom came home from labour,

       Or Cis to milking rose,

       Then merrily, merrily went their tabor,

       And merrily went their toes."
