Summary "Harper's Round Table, October 20, 1896" by Various is a periodical publication featuring a collection of short stories and articles aimed primarily at children, written during the late 19th century. The content includes imaginative tales, educational pieces, and illustrations, reflecting the values and interests of the time, particularly in relation to childhood adventures and moral lessons. The opening portion of the publication introduces a whimsical story titled "The Princess in Her Garden" by Evelyn Sharp, setting the stage for an engaging tale about Princess Gyldea, who finds herself bored with her beautiful garden, primarily due to her fixation on appearances and unfulfilled desires for excitement. After a quarrel with her lover, she decides to explore beyond her hedged garden, discovering a tall man digging potatoes and learning that the mundane work of others contrasts sharply with her sheltered life. This opening establishes Gyldea's internal conflict and curiosity about the lives of those outside her royal existence, positioning her on a path toward personal growth and self-discovery, as she contemplates her dull life as a princess compared to the realities of labor.
