About this book
Mosquito bites leave little Prudy miserable during a visit to the Cliffords in Indiana, until Grace proposes a book of fairy stories to cheer her. Mrs. Clifford supplies tales she wrote as a girl, and the children argue over their favorites and the lessons they contain. This family introduction gives Sophie May's collection a setting in everyday childhood before the stories move into enchanted places.
The tales include a Christmas legend set in Burgundy, where Cristobal loses his sight after another boy attacks him, and the story of a sylphid who gives a jewel to a hungry child. Fairies, precious stones, moonlit water, and remembered homes accompany ideas about generosity and the feelings people carry in their hearts. Readers interested in older children's literature will find a mix of family conversation, moral storytelling, and richly imagined scenes.
