Honey-Bee

Anatole France and Florence Lundborg

Anatole France wrote exactly one fairy tale like this: Honey-Bee, a small princess whose story wanders into the kingdom of the dwarfs and comes back changed. A future Nobel laureate playing the oldest game in literature, translated and finely made. Short, strange, and shining. Let the dwarfs keep you a while. 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.
