| Description | "I saw a book like this one and there were nice funny pictures in it; but there was no story written in it to tell what the white goose and the yellow goslings and the white rabbit and the black ravens were doing. And nothing was told about the funny people and the little boy walking away so grandly on the outside of the cover. So thought I would sit down and write all about it myself." p.
