A moral tale of a greedy shepherd and his kind brother and what happens to their sheep.
A poor child is taken in to the royal palace, where she captivates a bored king with her storytelling chair. The atmosphere at the court is selfish and ugly and the chair tells fanciful stories that emphasize the importance of kindness and benevolence. Charming and pleasant; also quite short and easy to read.
My grandmother recommended this to me because her maiden name was Frances Brown and when she read it as a child she felt it had been written just for her! Very good collection of tales linked by them being told from the chair.

My copy is very old and falling apart, but I read it to my kids when they were little and it’s just wonderful!! A little girl in a magic chair that takes her places. I don’t remember a lot about it except that we loved it! I want to read it again soon and I am definitely saving for future grandkids!… (meer)
