Publisher's Synopsis
One wishes that he were a child when he gets a glance at The Now-A-Day: Fairy Book. It is quite the handsomest and most inviting of holiday books for children that we have received. Anna Alice Chapin has caught the fairy spirit and presented the old tales in a modern way; and Jessie Wilcox Smith -- does her name need any word of praise to those who have seen her children -- has illustrated it in a way -- well, in a way that only Jessie Willcox Smith knows. Child-trust and sweetness, child-wonder and seriousness are all there in beautiful coloring. The text and the colored plates make what the children will call "just a beautiful book."
--New Catholic World, Volume 94
