Everychild encounters the giant Fear and sets forth on a strange journey, meeting Aladdin, Hansel and Grettel, Cinderella, and other storybook folk along the road.

Louis Dodge's 1921 children's fantasy is an allegorical quest that gathers the great fairy-tale characters into one wandering pilgrimage. Charming, imaginative, gently moral juvenile fantasy. Read it for a lovely period conceit, a child's journey through the whole enchanted country of nursery story.
