Excerpt from The Wonder-Workers
There are few boys and girls who have not taken delight in fairy tales. Cinder ella and her glass slipper, The Sleeping Beauty, and Jack the Giant Killer can never be forgotten. They are stories of deeds so wonderful that although we fol low them with delight, we feel that they cannot be true. They could happen only in a realm where fairies dwell, and here, alas! In this matter-of-fact world of our own, fairies can have no existence.
Yet, strange as it may seem, in our very midst people are living who are dding things quite as wonderful as those related in fairy books.
One of these wonder-workers is Luther Burbank, the flower-magician. Even when a tiny baby, he showed his love for flowers. Later, when he grew to be a man.
