The Little Bookroom
Farjeon, Eleanor / Gooden, Rumer / Ardizzone, Edward

Her selection of her favorite stories describes powerful--and sometimes exceedingly silly--monarchs, and commoners who are every bit their match, musicians and dancers who live for aft rather than earthly reward, and a goldfish who wishes to "marry the Moon, surpass the Sun, and possess the World.
