Description
This delightful collection contains twelve of Nesbit's most magical stories, both literally and figuratively. It includes such tales as "The Cat-Hood of Maurice, " in which a boy learns firsthand about the importance of being kind to animals, "The Princess and the Hedge-Pig, " in which the Princess Ozyliza recovers her parents' usurped kingdom with the aid of her true love, "Justnowland, " in which a little girl name Elsie saves a kingdom of enchanted crows, and "Kenneth and the Carp, " in which a boy is transformed into a carp to retrieve a ring and learns courage. There are useful morals to each story, but they are easily disguised in the enjoyable tales.
