Excerpt from The Golden Goose There was once a man who had three sons, the youngest of whom was called the Simpleton. He was laughed at and despised and neglected on all occasions. Now it happened one day that the eldest son wanted to go into the forest, to hew wood, and his Mother gave him a beautiful cake and a bottle of wine to take with him, so that he might not suffer from hunger or thirst. When he came to the wood he met a little old grey man, who, bidding him good-day, said: "Give me a small piece of the cake in your wallet, and let me drink a mouthful of your wine; I am so hungry and thirsty."

About the Author:
Extracts from “Homage to Leslie Brooke” an appreciation by M.S. Crouch “Leslie Brooke was born in 1862 and died in 1940 having ensured for himself a place among the immortals. There is only a small handful of children’s authors and artists whom all children recognize as their friend. Leslie Brooke belongs to this company. The stamp of his personality, lovable, honest and sincere, allied to technical skill of the highest, has resulted in a series of the most delightful books, in which fun and beauty walk hand in hand.” —The Junior Bookshelf
