Mouwou the Laughing Bear the Deliverer, a gray witch, a leviathan, and the Mid-Earth People people a garland of original fairy tales first told to a Seattle Sunday school.

Robert B. H. Bell's 1917 collection gathers whimsical, kindly fairy tales for children. Warm, imaginative, of its era. Read it for a cozy storybook of original wonder-tales, talking bears, witches, and marvelous creatures, written with affection for children, in the gentle moralizing style of the early-twentieth-century nursery.
