The most wonderful bubble-blower who ever lived earns his famous name, and blows a bubble unlike any other.

E. Hugh Sherwood and Maud Gridley Budlong's 1914 children's book spins whimsical nursery fantasy from a boy whose bubble-blowing carries him into wonder. A charming, gently illustrated period piece of Edwardian juvenile publishing. Read it for the sweet, old-fashioned magic of a soap-bubble that becomes something marvelous.
