About this book

A bowl of porridge shared on the shore opens the door to magic for six-year-old Effie Gilder. In the first story, an elderly stranger rewards her kindness with three wishes, to be granted on successive birthdays. Her first wish is to see the shells, fishes and other wonders at the bottom of the ocean. Horace Elisha Scudder brings this promise of marvels into a collection of children's stories concerned with wishes, friendship and conduct.

Elsewhere, Yulee and Bo find their game of being castaways growing uncomfortable as evening falls beside Clearwater. A damaged toy cooking range, pretend tea and the silent Miss Phely give their adventure a domestic scale. Yulee tries stories and songs to steady her frightened companion. These passages set childhood imagination beside the practical need to care for someone else, making the collection appealing to readers interested in older fairy tales and the small dramas of children's play.
