Books with title TP 23: Once upon a Time

This book was written in 1915, for the amusement of my wife and myself at a time when life was not very amusing; it was published at the end of 1917; was reviewed, if at all, as one of a parcel, by some brisk uncle from the Tiny Tots Department; and died quietly, without seriously detracting from the interest which was being taken in the World War, then in progress.

A little man called Mr. Once-upon-a-time always interrupts everyone's storytime, so the townspeople decide to throw him in jail, only to find that their stories aren't as amusing anymore. Mr. Once-upon-a-time is a wonderfully comical story about storytelling. This is the third collaboration from Rémy Simard and Pierre Pratt that delivers a high-spirited playfulness reminiscent of the critically acclaimed My Dog is an Elephant.

Come little readers and enter the land of let's pretend, where mystical creatures with magical powers will stir your imaginations, and the wonders of make believe will take flight in Once Upon a Time Tales.
