Winter in the woods, tricks of light, the real king of beasts, a lively way to ring a bell, a Victorian miscellany of curious facts and fancies for young readers.

Frank R. Stockton's 1872 collection, by the beloved author of 'The Lady, or the Tiger?', gathers charming essays and stories of the wide world. Warm, curious, delightful juvenilia. Read it for genial nineteenth-century wonder, a ramble through nature, history, and fancy in the company of a master storyteller.
