About this book
A young goat turns a cottage lawn into a dancing ground when an Italian boy stops at the gate with his pipe, tabor and performing dolls. Mary watches the dolls and the lively kid in turn, while the mother goat stands nearby. Harriet Myrtle opens this collection for young children with a small rural scene built from music, movement and the pleasure of watching animals.
The next tale, The Little Foundling, follows a young sparrow that falls from a crowded nest beside a field of haymakers. Charles Turner and his sister Fanny find the frightened bird and try to help it. The collection brings children's play and animal lives close together, with a singing canary and a story called Winter Pleasures also appearing in the excerpts. Its short tales offer young readers concrete scenes of kindness, curiosity and everyday country life.
