ianism, futurism, Mississippi ValIeyism,

but the fairy story, for young and old,
lives a life apart, above all movements,
eternally young from Esop to. Maeter-
hnck. Beyond schools and movements,
topping all economic changes, populous
heaven of miraged cities, the fairy poem
and the fairy prose tale pass through the
fires of reality like those asbestos boys
in the Old Testament whose names have
forgotten.
And, of course, to crib great epigram,
there's q reason. The fairy story is
criticism of life. 1t is the perpetual pro-
test Of man against reality, which is Evil.
1t is an allegory of escape from the trap
of/the years. 1t is the magical soap
bubble which the eternal convict of the
stars, Man, blows through the bars of his
senses into the Empyrean, travelling with
It for a way on the broken wing of his
hope
In fairy tonnes Happiness always tri-
umphs over Pain and Love over Despair.
It is so in Keats's matchless ST. agnes
Zoe and in the simplest fairy story for
the four-year-old. Great fairy stories
should be tremendous satire on human
reason, on the constitution of the universe,
on the fatality of law. They are the
theology of Hope. They are earnivals Of
freedom given in the dungeons of the
Bastile of Circumstance
The Enchanted Island is the latest. 1t
is a fairy tale of love and adventure by
Fannie Louise Apjohn. The old machinery

combat between the two, with the Triumph

only you know it wasn't the Magician Of
Despair that was the Jack Dempsey of
that combat in that never-never archi-
pelago.
It is a beautiful thing to resign your

dimensioned facility and your mental
