It is quite a journey from Jeanne's bedroom down the long corridor, to the place fascinating to her since her babyhood: the room hung with tapestry -- very old, and in some parts faded, but still distinct. Jeanne sees something strange in one tapestry, of a garden. Didn't those peacocks move, ever so slightly? Then Dudu, the family's raven, is at the window -- but she just saw that decrepit old bird down on the terrace. Dudu cannot fly that fast! Now she hears wonderful news -- her cousin Hugh is coming to stay. He will be like a little brother -- and he will sleep in the tapestry room.

Autorenporträt
"The Thirteen Little Black Pigs" -- but it contains eight delightful tales from Mrs. Molesworth, not thirteen little black pigs. There's "Right Hand and Left," a tale of sybling rivalry, and things even more unsettling; "A Shilling of Halfpence," the story of an old woman to whom shillings and halfpence are serious money, "A Friend in Need," "Pansy's Pansy," "Pet's Half-Crown," "A Catapult Story," and at the end -- "A Very Long Lane," and it's indeed a long, long road. Children's' fiction from an amazingly talented Victorian writer.
