The film has an entry in the Library of Congress, along with being listed as a lost film.[3][4] The six reel film adaptation was described as a rural and society drama.[5]
Kinematograph Weekly wrote that "The fairy-book idea is certainly very intriguing, and has enabled the scenario writer to achieve a much-desired happy ending."[6]
A Destiny song was released in 1919 with lyrics by Alfred Bryan and music by Herbert Spencer.[7] The rights to the song were acquired by Jerome H. Remick & Co.[8]
Charles Neville Buck's novel was illustrated by R. F. Schabelitz, published by Grosset & Dunlap, and copyrighted by W. J. Watt & Company.[9][10][11]
