Dan meets a pretty lady with blue-blue eyes, hears a message from Too-Bo-Tan, and sets free the animals of Spangleland, whimsical circus-flavored adventures spun for the children's page.

Edwin P. Norwood's 1922 book gathers gentle, imaginative fantasy tales for children, first told in the Christian Science Monitor. Warm, playful, charming. Read it for a cozy garland of storybook wonders, a genial hero, talking animals, and the make-believe magic of Spangleland, told with old-fashioned tenderness.
