About this book

Sir Walter Scott's short tale first ran in The Keepsake for 1828, one of the illustrated annuals then fashionable in Britain. His introduction explains that he retold a story heard in childhood at the fireside from a relation of the Swinton family, who vouched for it. The tale itself concerns a magic mirror and falls into two chapters. Scott also sketches how the annual came about, a German fashion brought to Britain by the bookseller Ackermann.
