When she was young, and had been first taught the art of conjuring by the necromancer, her father, she was always practicing her skill, whizzing about from one kingdom to another upon her black stick, and conferring her fairy favors upon this Prince or that.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
