Howard Pyle puts on his dream-cap and visits a house as old as the world, where a great clock strikes a story for every hour. The twenty-four tales that follow, each introduced by a verse by Katharine Pyle, are full of kings and clever youngest sons, princesses, giants, magic cakes and the devil outwitted.
One of the great American fairy-tale books, illustrated by Pyle himself, for reading aloud through a whole day. Download the free EPUB.
