'Come with me for a visit to Fairyland, dear Ned,' the tiny Gnomeman says, and a magic soap bubble carries a boy off to a happy land of rabbitmen, bluebirds, and Noah's Ark circus folk.

David Cory's 1918 book is a whimsical rhyming fantasy for young children from the 'Little Journeys to Happyland' series. Playful, warm, charmingly illustrated. Read it for a cozy nursery adventure in bouncing verse, where a boy floats away on a soap bubble into a storybook world of gentle talking-animal wonders.
