This chapbook is a children's story eight pages long.
For "The fortunate child" there are three illustrations: a boy encountering a magician, a boy in a hot air balloon, and two men in a row boat--the text concerns a gifted adolescent who is put through different trials by a magician and a king. He is born with the gift of invincibility because he was born on his feet. He overcomes obstacles and impossible situations. He arrives at a palace in a balloon after his trials and gains the hand of a princess and great riches. (Source: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/99615875/)
