"A Note From The Publisher:The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Fairies has verified that no fairies were killed or injured in the making of this book. The images are merely psychic impressions left behind by the fairies. Unknown to the young Lady Cottington, the fairies, tricksters that they are, competed with each other to create the most artistic squashings, leaving a psychic imprint before flying away unseen and unharmed."
