Note:
"The paper on The Fantastic Imagination had its origin in the repeated request of readers for an explanation of things in certain shorter stories I had written. It forms the preface to an American edition of my so-called Fairy Tales."
--Preface, A Dish of Orts (Sampson Low, 1893), p.vi (viewed at HathiTrust)
"This essay first appeared as the introduction to the American edition of The Light Princess, published by Puttnams[sic], New York, 1893. It was then included in A Dish of Orts, Sampson Low, Marston & Co. Edenbridge, Kent 1893. It contains the clearest outline of his views of fairy stories and fantasy."
--Phantastes (Paternoster, 2008), edited by Nick Page, p. 275 (viewed as Amazon "Look inside")
