Spartan Hearts, by Beatrice Harraden, was first published in a volume entitled “Untold Tales of the Past”; Big Steamers, by Rudyard Kipling, in “A History of England,” by C. R. L. Fletcher and Rudyard Kipling; Bimbashi Joyce, by Arthur Conan Doyle, in “The Green Flag, and other Stories”; and we have to thank Messrs. William Blackwood & Sons, The Oxford University Press, and Messrs. Smith, Elder & Co. for permission to include these contributions in Princess Mary’s Gift Book.
With these exceptions the poems and stories in this book have not previously been issued in volume form. The illustrations have all been specially painted and drawn, and an exhibition of the work of the artists who have thus contributed to Princess Mary’s Gift Book will be held at the Leicester Galleries, Leicester Square, W.C., and the originals sold in aid of the Queen’s “Work for Women” Fund.

This work was published before January 1, 1927, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
