Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Jack and Jill: A Fairy Story
This story is all about their extraordinary adventures, which began from that dreadful night when our Farmhouse was burned down. It was directly after that, too, that they got so intimate with Smiling Mary and Mr. Scarecrow. I even wonder if we should ever have found Curdie, our dear bob-tailed sheep-dog, who had disappeared over the hills and far away with a friend of mine six years before, if we had not been driven out of our house and learned that make shift things are just as good as proper ones and much jollier.
