About This Book

A young princess wakes early and slips from the castle to spend a day among animated elements of the wood: Dew Children wash and dress her, Moss-boys prepare a breakfast, and small animals accompany her wanderings. A scholarly crow teaches her simple spelling while playful squirrels and hares join her exploration. She pauses in a mossy glade to tell stories to the mushrooms, and as dusk falls starry children light her path and watch over the castle at night. The day ends with the princess returning home and falling asleep after a day of play and learning.
