The story is accompanied by primitively sketched drawings done in soft primary colors that picture a child who is too young to do the deed or be out alone, but the fey quality of the illustrations and simple but effective text reinforce the mood of a fairy tale. . This story, originally written in 1937 but newly translated and illustrated, is a welcome addition.Amy Kellman, The Carnegie Lib
