It has been beloved by generations of children since its publication in 1907 and remains a timeless classic of children's literature.A short avenue of cypresses led, widening as it went, to a marble terrace that lay broad and white in the sunlight. The children, blinking, leaned their arms on the broad, flat balustrade and gazed. Immediately below them was a lake just like a lake in ""The Beauties of Italy"" a lake with swans and an island and weeping willows.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
