Once there was a fat, nice, round little boy named Tim, dimpled all over from the fairies' kisses, a lovesome child whose curly mop was forever tangled by wind and play and dreaming.

Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1907 book, by the author of 'The Secret Garden,' is a warm fantasy for children. Charming, tender, delightfully told. Read it for a cozy fairy tale from a beloved author, a dimpled little boy, the fairies who love him, and a good wolf, spun with Burnett's gift for enchanting the young.
