"THE THRINGS OF THE DARK MOUNTAIN" by Morgan Taylor, illustrated by Irene Mullen Larson and Harold Sichel, published by Minton, Balch & Company, New York, in 1924.  123 pages.

This is a wonderful fairy tale type book about elf type people that the author refers to as thrings.  The following poem is placed at the beginning of the book, and appears to be somwhat of a forward for the book. 

Let’s build a boat from a Happy Smile,

And a sail of dreams we will weave, -

And we’ll spread away, oh, many a mile,

To that wondersome spot and elfland isle,

The land of the Make-Believe.

We’ll build our house from a Golden Thought,

We’ll dine on Ambrosian Wishes,

In the land where a frown cannot be bought,

And, instead of beasties and fish, are caught

Great Flocks of laughs and kisses.

And this little book will be our guide

As we sail o’er the S’posing Sea, -

And you will rule when we’ve done our ride

And are safe ensconced on the Make-Believe side

Where I will your vassal be.
