Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Journal of Clinical Medicine, Vol. 19: December, 1912
Under the magic power of the fairy the two children are permitted to go into the land of the past and into the land of memory. They visit their grandparents, who have been dead for some time, in their present abode, and there find their little brothers and sisters who also had preceded them into the land of the past. The bird which they find in their grandparents' cage seems blue, because the old folks and the little children there are con tented, but when our little pilgrims carry the bird away they find that its hue has changed. They also visit the dead in the graveyard, without being successful in finding the coveted bird of contentment. They visit the land of the unborn children who are sent to the world day by day as the time has come for each one, Father Time with his hourglass and scythe calling for them in his big ship, repulsing the eagerness of those who are overanxious to go before time, urging those who are holding back, and encouraging those who are ready to depart.
