Henry Beston 2 hr 36 min read

A brave grenadier, the palace of the night, an enchanted baby, a city of winter sleep, a garland of original fairy tales spun for children under the starlight.

Henry Beston's 1923 collection gathers lyrical, original wonder-tales for young readers. Graceful, imaginative, gently magical. Read it for a beautifully written storybook by the author of The Outermost House, a companion to his Firelight Fairy Book, brimming with princes, enchantments, and the timeless music of the fairy tale.
