As a little girl, rapt amoung the dusty overflow volumes of her father's library, in a room that was known as the Little Bookroom, Eleanor Farjeon found a treasure-house of delight; just such a treasure-house is this collection of her own best stories chosen by herself. Here are tales of a king's daughter who cries for the moon. Joe Jolly who wins a princess for a bride. Marietta who kisses a peach-tree, the King of Workaday, who falls in love with his housemaid, six princesses who live for the sake of their long hair, Griselda and her devoted care of Great-Grandmother Curfew, Danny O'Toole and his Connemara donkey - and many more besides.
