| Summary | "Soap-bubble stories: For Children" by Fanny Barry is a collection of enchanting children's stories written in the late 19th century. The book features a variety of whimsical tales centered around magical creatures and their adventures, designed to entertain and bring joy to young readers. The beginning of the book introduces a group of children as they play and blow soap bubbles on a snowy twilight evening. When they express their desire for more bubble magic, a figure in the shadows takes it upon herself to create new bubbles using her imagination. The narrative hints at the imaginative storytelling that will unfold, leading into tales like "The Troll in the Church Fountain," where we meet Terli, a mischievous River-Troll. As the characters navigate magical challenges, the stories promise a delightful blend of adventure and whimsy, perfect for capturing the imaginations of children.
