This is a fascinating collection of fairy tales about a little girl Snowflower and her magical chair that transports her wherever she wants. One day when the Snowflower goes to the king Winwealth's feast, she entertains the court with nightly stories narrated by the chair framed by her exciting experiences at court. Written with the essence of classic fairytales, this book is full of morals for kids, teaching mainly the lesson of good vs. evil, honesty and selfworth. "In an old time, long ago, when the fairies were in the world, there lived a little girl so very fair and pleasant of look, that they called her Snowflower. This girl was good as well as pretty. No one had ever seen her frown or heard her say a cross word, and young and old were glad when they saw her coming. Snowflower had no relation in the world but a very old grandmother, called Dame Frostyface. They lived together in a little cottage built of peat and thatched with reeds, on the edge of a great forest."_x000D_ Frances Browne (1816-1879) was an Irish poet and novelist, best remembered for her book Granny's Wonderful Chair.
