One last tale from "Rootabaga Stories" this week as we discover the origins of The Village of Cream Puffs in 'How the Five Rusty Rats Helped Find a New Village' as told by the young girl from our previous tale, Wing Tip the Spick.
The past few weeks have been a lot, so this week at least I'll be bringing you chapters from one of the silliest, most nonsense filled books of American folklore - Carl Sandburg's "Rootabaga Country", beginning with 'How They Broke Away to Go to the Rootabaga Country'.
It's been 4 years since we last told this tale and since it's one of my absolute favorites I'm happy to once again share the classic French tale of that most clever cat, 'The Master Cat, or Puss in Boots'.
Charles Perrault's version of the classic 'Cinderella' may be the closest to the Disney version, but that doesn't make it any less special. Not at all.
In 'The Fishing' Henry once again relies on an old friend to help him out of a tight spot as he overcomes the final obstacle on his way to the garden at the top of the mountain.
In Part 5 of the tale of "Good Little Henry" we get yet another challenge from the genii of the mountain, and Henry gets help from an unexpected friend.
