The Village of Youth, and Other Fairy Tales
1895

The Village of Youth, and Other Fairy Tales is a collection of fairy tales by Bessie Hatton, first published in 1895. The stories intertwine themes of youth, love, and the bittersweet nature of life, with the titular tale focusing on a young King who, fearing aging, isolates himself from the elderly in his kingdom. This leads to a quest to confront Time itself, exploring the tension between youth and the acceptance of life's natural cycles. The collection reflects the late 19th-century fascination with fantasy and morality.
