Excerpt from Old Farm Fairies: A Summer Campaign in Brownieland Against King Cobweaver's Pixies; A Story for Young People This preface shall be a personal explanation. The following book was written during the winter of 187 6 - 77, more than eighteen years ago. Its origin was in this wise: Some of my readers will know that for more than twenty years I have studied the habits of our spider fauna. During the first years of these studies, the thought came to me to write a book for youth wherein my observations should be personified in the imaginary creatures of fairy lore, and thus float into the young mind some of my natural history findings in such pleas ant form that they would be received quite unconsciously, and at least an impression thereof retained with sufficient accuracy to open the way to more serious lessons in the future.
