Tales of Wonder Every Child Should Know by Kate Douglas Wiggin

The tales in this book are of many kinds of wonder; of black magic, white magic and gray; ranging from the recital of strange and supernatural deeds and experiences to those that fore-shadow modern conquests of nature and those that utilize the marvellous to teach a moral lesson. Choose among them as you will, for as the Spaniards might say, “The book is at your feet; whatever you admire is yours!”
