About this book
A children’s collection of merry stories mixes comic folk trickery with fairy-tale turns of fortune. When Owlglass makes a horse buyer accept blows as part of the price, he transforms a sale into one of his practical jokes. Later, Jackey returns to the forest where he first learned music and remembers the birds who taught him, bringing a quieter note to the collection.
