A classic tale of tyranny overcome. . . . Voake makes this neglected gem an unforgettable read-aloud look new." KIRKUS REVIEWS (STARRED REVIEW)

Can she use it many years later to save the children s fabled skipping grounds from a greedy, factory-building lord? Charlotte Voake s exuberant art pairs with Eleanor Farjeon s unforgettable tale for a match made in picture-book heaven.
