Synopsis: "the prisoner referred to in the title is the world, signifying thought, and starlight--sympathy--the magic passport" --"News of Books" NY Times 1913-06-29 pBR384 (this one "published last week") "The Fairyland the world has lost takes captive a middle-aged man of business. Fantasy then reigns very effectively in this bubbling, crotchety, charmingly written tale of children, starlight, woods and fairies." --unsigned review NY Tribune 1913-07-25 p8 Written while in the Alps. "A Fairy play is being founded on it, keeping the characters as in the book, omitting the love interest, and developing the parts played by the sprites, children, &c., with much dancing, singing, and so forth, but keeping the big idea behind it, viz., that sympathy helps the world go round and shall one day bring it back to Fairyland." --NY Times 1913-10-19 pBR572, paraphrase and quotation of a letter from the author to The NY Times Review of Books
