Eva’s Adventures in Shadow-Land by Mary D. Nauman

Mary D. Nauman’s short story ‘Eva’s Adventures in Shadow-Land’ was first published in the year 1874. “She had been reading fairy-tales, after her lessons were done, all the morning; and now that dinner was over, her father gone to his office, the baby asleep, and her mother sitting quietly sewing in the cool parlor, Eva thought that she would go down across the field to the old mill-pond; and sit in the grass, and make a fairy-tale for herself.” -an excerpt
