On a stormy night in the big nursery, Rudolf and Ann climb into a wonderful old bed, and sail off into a dreamland of pirates, queens, live toys, and the dreaded Knight-Mare.

Gertrude Knevels's 1912 novel is a charming fantasy for children. Whimsical, cozy, delightful. Read it for a warm bedtime-adventure storybook where a magical bed carries two children through a night of good dreams and bad, past comic perils and enchantments, in a gentle, imaginative tale made for reading aloud.
