Louisa May Alcott 47 min read

Carried off by a gust while holding her mother's big red umbrella, Lily comes down in the Candy Country, a land of sugar and sweets where a most unusual education awaits.

Louisa May Alcott's 1885 story, by the author of 'Little Women,' is a whimsical, gently moral fairy tale for children. Charming, warm, sweetly instructive. Read it for a delightful confectionery fantasy where a little girl's adventures in a land made of candy teach her, with Alcott's tender humor, the value of good sense.
