| Picture No | 10547144 |
| Date | 1911 |
| Description | A charm against Fairies by M. Reed |
| Details |
A rather alarming illustration (at least to any new parents) depicting a baby being spirited away by fairies who leave a 'wizened changeling of their race' in its place while its mother sleeps. Fortunately, a poem below advises a prayer to bless the child before bedtime to avoid any unfortunate occurrence.
