'Tell it again!' the little golden-headed child begs, and so the twelve Months, met by children within a wood, spin their many-colored tales through a garland of seasons.

Susan Coolidge's 1871 book, by the author of 'What Katy Did,' is a charming fantasy for children. Warm, imaginative, gracefully told. Read it for a cozy storybook where the twelve Months come to life to tell their tales, a gentle seasonal wonder-book from a beloved nineteenth-century children's author.
