The Brownie and the Princess: And Other Stories

A new generation of readers can enjoy 10 classic tales by Louisa May Alcott in the paper-over-board The Brownie and the Princess and Other Stories, originally published separately in children's magazines during the author's lifetime (and collectively with two other stories as A Round Dozen in 1963). The tales include the title story, wherein a girl is granted the ability to understand the speech of birds; and ""The Silver Party"" in which a family's dinnerware comes to life on Thanksgiving, to dance, revel and mock the poor habits of the diners.
