The first edition was published by John Lane in London, England, in All The Way To Fairyland with seven other short stories.

Sharp actively fought the government by refusing to pay her taxes and was involved in relief committees after World War I.

This prompted Sharp to return to London, where she spent the remainder of her days until she died on June 17, 1955.

A Prince or Princess's 10th birthday is always celebrated with a wonderful feast and an astounding amount of gifts.

This particular party is very elaborate in order to acknowledge the Prince's excellent manners and uncommon perfection.

The Prince contemplates a steamboat, a cannon and a magical balloon, but only replies that his godmother should give him what she thinks best.

The Fairy Zigzag creates a magical doll straight from fairyland and then leaves the party.

After lifting the stone Prince Perfection discovers a hole in which he hides Lady Emmelina.

These thoughts consist of the Prince's wishes for his gift: a steamboat, a cannon and a magical balloon.

The gifts that the Prince had wished for earlier help him reach the castle where Lady Emmelina is waiting.

When Princess Pansy sees her brother she hugs him while Lady Emmelina falls to the ground.

She loves her brother but when Fairy Zigzag gifts her a doll she no longer plays with Prince Perfection.

Later, Fairy Zigzag is assumed to be responsible for Prince Perfections adventure to return Lady Emmelina to Princess Pansy.
