Aunt Margery, to whom there is no sound sweeter than the sound of her own voice; Mrs. Poppagey, with her nose in the air and falling into the ditch; a tiny man with a head like a head of cabbage - these and many other characters, charming in their dissimilarity, make up the pepper and salt of the fairy-tale collection of writer and artist Howard Pyle. Good-natured fairy tales with colorful illustrations and laconic songs, translated into Russian for the first time, open the good old a world of magic, seasoned with a pinch of excellent humor!
