A rainbow cat, a princess who could not cry, a prince and a baker's daughter, and the secret of why pigs have curly tails, a garland of merry fairy tales for children.

Rose Fyleman's 1923 collection gathers charming fairy stories by a beloved children's poet. Whimsical, warm, gracefully told. Read it for a cozy treasury of wonder-tales from the author famed for 'fairies at the bottom of the garden', genial magic and gentle nonsense for the young.
