They are fictional accounts most probably based loosely upon second hand accounts from real life with a good splodge of romantic imagination. Rather cute, syrupy & cliched. For admirers of the genre, an attractive and charming series of representations.  A pretty little title in good, clean condition (especially for a children's book).
