It has our most hearty approval and recommendation in every way, not only for beauty of illustration, which is of the highest order, but for the fascinating manner in which the old Norse legend is told.”—The Churchman.
“It gives in a popular form, in a charmingly simple and picturesque style, the fascinating romances of the old German epics. No more delightful reading for the young can be imagined than that provided in this interesting book, and the manner of recital is so graceful that older readers will derive from it scarcely less pleasure.”—Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.

They are tales of, literally, enchanting sorcery and fairy-prank, fantastic, grim, preposterous, fanciful, astonishing, quaint, by turns, and always brimful of humor,—a peculiarly sly and irresistible humor of which Mr. Stockton alone has the secret. All English-speaking children will thank Mr. Stockton for the delightful entertainment he has provided for them. There is certainly no other living writer who so deftly blends the purely imaginative and the subtly humorous.

[D]If the careful examination of satisfactory photographs should seem to show that the darkness (almost blackness) behind the nucleus is an objective, and not merely a subjective phenomenon, the following explanation would seem forced upon us. If the particles forming the envelopes are minute flat bodies, and if anything in the circumstances under which these particles are driven off into the tail causes them to always so arrange themselves that the planes in which they severally lie pass through the axis of the tail (which, if the tail is an electrical phenomenon might very well happen) then we should find the region behind the nucleus very dark, or almost black, for the particles in the direction of the line of sight then would be turned edgewise toward us, whereas those on either side or in the prolongation of the envelopes would turn their faces toward the observer.
