[PW] Re: Prince Prigio?

[Sylvia Milne]

No doubt our children's librarians will come up with an answer but

This website http://www.mythfolklore.net/andrewlang/lilac.htm
is quite informative.
I quote from it " In truth I never did write any fairy books in my life, 
except 'Prince Prigio,' 'Prince Ricardo,' and 'Tales from a Fairy 
Court'--that of the aforesaid Prigio."

"Prince Prigio" and "Prince Ricardo" were published together as  Chronicles 
of Pantouflia , but I wonder if your tale is in 'Tales from a Fairy Court'
