The Gate of the Giant Scissors
Annie Fellows Johnston and Etheldred Breeze Barry
Behind a great gate topped with giant scissors, a lonely French estate hides a story worth discovering. Annie Fellows Johnston sends Joyce into a new fairy tale of her own: a pear tree lookout, a letter, a meeting, and a friendship that changes two lives. A companion to the Little Colonel books with a French accent. Push open the gate. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
