This allegory is not part of the Caravan series (see), Hauff's first annual Märchen cycle, but an introduction to the publication that contains it, the first Märchen-Almanach of three (fairy-tale annual, roughly).
Synopsis:
Phantasie the queen receives Fairy-Tale her daughter (Mährchen), returned in tears from Earth. People no longer love her. Guardsmen reject her. The queen urges:
"If the old, deluded by Fashion, value thee at nothing, then turn thee to the young; truly they are my little favorites. I send to them my loveliest pictures through thy brothers, the Dreams; ..."
[The Dreams have no trouble when people are asleep.]
"Oh, the dear children!" exclaimed Märchen, deeply affected. "Yes—be it so! with them I will make one more trial."
"Yes, my good child," answered the Queen; "go unto them; but I will attire thee in fine style, that thou mayest please the little ones, and that the old may not drive thee away. See! the dress of an Almanach[B] will I give thee."
