the carved shoes and other holland tales
story time tales
stories and original illustrations by Violet Moore Higgins
with a new foreword by J.B. Fitzgerald
Taken from the traditional folklore of The Netherlands, these Story Time Tales—as retold by Violet Moore Higgins in 1918—will transport your young reader to another time in Leiden and Amsterdam. Discover the strength of true friendship and follow in the exploits of four goodhearted, brave, and determined Dutch children as they overcome hardship and transform into the heroes and heroines of their own stories. Higgins’ classic, timeless tales offer today’s kids unique cultural insights and, through wholesome storytelling, emphasize the enduring importance of family.
This republished, special ebook edition includes a new foreword by author J.B. Fitzgerald, as well as Higgins' original color and black-and-white full-page illustrations, each rescued from more than a century of age discoloration through Fitzgerald's meticulous restoration.
