About this book

A childhood memory of frightening stories opens this collection by Mrs. Molesworth. Addie, a small girl absorbed in books, hears German tales from her lively cousin Meta. The account of a mysterious piper grips her imagination, and a street musician gives those fears a visible shape. Told by Addie looking back on her younger self, the opening explores the distance between an adult's intentions and a child's response.

The collection also turns to animal fable. In another story, a spell of mild November weather wakes a family of dormice. Fuzz decides summer has returned and ventures out, despite the sleepy objections of his family. Children's conduct, sympathy and the consequences of mistaken judgments connect these stories.
