The Blue Rose Fairy Book

Maurice Baring

No one in the whole empire can find a blue rose, and the emperor's daughter will accept nothing less from a suitor. Maurice Baring's invented fairy tales also bring a hunchback with a magic ring, a silver mountain, and two organ pipes named Vox Angelica and Lieblich Gedacht who fall in love. Wit on the surface, real feeling underneath. Modern fairy tales that end like poems. 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.
