If Anna can aquire this army, defeating the Chancellor will once again become a possibility. New obstacles come to stand again before Anna and her friends as both sides fight for the possession of the Stones. Anna must destroy the sister stones or face the probability of a horrific battle in her future. Even with a few advantages falling into her lap, the race is still a close one and sacrifices will have to be made.

Three soldiers came marching down the road towards a French village. The peasants, seeing them coming, suddenly became very busy, for soldiers are often hungry.

Why, of course, they could make a wonderful soup of stones...but, of course, one must add a carrot or two...some meat...so it went. Marcia Brown has made of this old tale a carnival of activity, dancing, and laughter. Children who have once heard the story will turn to this book again and again, retelling the story for themselves. Now in a special limited paper-over-board edition!
