Description

A charming little book full of the most gorgeous illustrations which can be viewed along with the Gutenberg text at <a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/15661">http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/15661</a>. <br /> We see a number of stories in which kindness is rewarded and selfishness is punished but Brooke squeezes a number of intriguing and quite bizarre twists and turns into the story so it is not nearly so predictable as you might imagine. <br /> Victorian moral fairy tales from a delightfully inventive mind. <br /> (Summary by Jim)
