I SHALL never forget the scolding I gave him to begin with. One of the advantages of being a Fairy even quite a common one is that Lions can't bite you. A Fairy is too little and too light. If they snap at you it's easy to fly through their mouths, and even if they catch you, if you just get behind their teeth you can make them so uncomfortable that they will beg you to get out and leave them in peace.

Großdruck Übersetzung von Emmy Becher. Cedric Errol, ein kleiner Junge aus New York in den USA, dessen Umfeld die Monarchie strikt ablehnt, wird von seinem kaltherzigen englischen Großvater, dem Earl of Dorincourt, trotz der standeswidrigen Ehe seines verstorbenen Vaters, des jüngsten Sohnes des Earls, als letzter verbliebener Nachfolger für den Grafentitel bei sich aufgenommen und aufgezogen. Seine Mutter, eine Amerikanerin, darf das Anwesen des Earls aufgrund von Voreingenommenheit gegen Amerika und Standesdünkel nicht betreten. Der kleine Lord veranlasst seinen Großvater, der durch den offenherzigen und liebenswerten Jungen nach und nach zugänglicher wird, das Armenviertel des Dorfes instand zu setzen. Cedric kümmert sich um die Vernachlässigten, ebenso wie seine Mutter, welche im Ort unweit des Schlosses lebt, die er aber nach Belieben besuchen darf. Sie nimmt den Unterhalt vom Earl aus Gewissensgründen nicht an und gibt ihn an die Armen weiter. Weitere Klassiker unter: www.buch-klassiker.de

"Sometimes since I've been in the Garden I've looked up through the trees at the sky and I have had a strange feeling of being happy as if something was pushing and drawing in my chest and making me breathe fast. Magic is always pushing and drawing and making Things out of nothing. Everything is made out of magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden - in all the places."

"Whatever comes," she said, "cannot alter one thing. If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I Can be a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it.".
