In the Land of the Singing Mouse, a small enchanted creature sings the narrator strange fables, of rivers, mountains, skulls and roses, and the birth of the hours.

Emerson Hough's 1910 collection gathers gentle, poetic fairy tales and fables. Lyrical, whimsical, meditative. Read it for a quiet, dreamlike little book of allegories and wonder-tales, sung by a magical mouse, from an author better known for his rugged frontier novels.
