Around the fireside gather tales of halberdiers and seneschals, of enchantment and adventure, a book of original fairy stories to be read aloud when the firelight flickers.

Henry Beston's 1919 collection is a warm, imaginative book of fairy tales for children. Charming, well-wrought, cozy. Read it for a lovely fireside treasury by the future author of 'The Outermost House', original wonder-tales of princes and quests, told in graceful storybook prose for the young.
