Not one of Alcott's better works

These stories are nice and aim to teach the importance of virtue and the dangers of vice. Unfortunately, Alcott fails at making these tales attention grabbing, and as you read the fables it really starts to feel very long. Fortunately, this is not indicative of Alcott prowess as a writer and author - most of her other works are superior to this one. Honestly, I don't recommend the read unless either 1) you are an Alcott completest or 2) you are super into fairies and elves and want to read everything you can that talks about them. I love Alcott, she's one of my favorite authors, but this work just might be worth skipping.
