'This book describes how Peter and Johanna persuaded "BB" to tell them once more his story of "The Little Grey Men." That led to other meetings: Hans Andersen told them of "The Nightingale," "The Wind's Tale" and of "The Snow Queen;" Robert Louis Stevenson recited their favourite poems and introduced them to his donkey; Charles Perrault told them of "Cinderella;" Old Peter of "Baba Yaga;" Jakob Grimm of "The Briar Rose" and Pierre, of "The Northern Lights." There are drawings for every story and fifteen lovely painings by Mr Watkins-Pitchford.'
