Note: First published in Aunt Judy's Magazine, November 1869, pp. 33-37, with one illustration by A. W. Bayes (p. 34 at HathiTrust), as the first in a series of Old-Fashioned Fairy Tales. Ewing and Bayes are credited by name in the volume Contents and Illustrations (and probably at the front or back of the issue, not viewed). The first eight Old-Fashioned Fairy Tales were published in Aunt Judy's this year (12 issues to October 1870, bound as 1870), numbered I to VIII. This was the first, under the two-line heading (large caps and small caps):   OLD-FASHIONED FAIRY TALES.   I.—Kind William and the Water Sprite. Subsequent OFFT were not numbered in the magazine, and none are numbered in the collection, which begins with a different story.
