About this book
During a rainstorm, a discouraged writer sits in a room lined with books and pictures until the wind interrupts his gloomy thoughts with a story of its own. A burgomaster and his family set off by sleigh from Leipsic for an evening at a forest inn. When they take the wrong road, a stranger offers to guide them, but his wild driving soon makes the passengers uneasy. The scene mixes winter pleasures with comic fear, brisk conversation and a mysterious interruption to an ordinary outing.
Sarah L. Barrow's children's stories also find comedy in household confusion and ambitious daydreams. Wise Peter and Silly Catharine quarrel over a series of costly mistakes, while Bartlemy Bowbell, a London tailor's apprentice, dreams of riches through a wonderful jewel called the Gold Stone. The tales pair foolish decisions with fanciful possibilities.
