A woodcutter's daughter comes across a small house in the woods with an old man, a hen, a rooster and a spotted cow. She makes dinner for the man but not the animals -- and doesn't return home the next day. Her younger sister follows. Finally, the youngest sister finds the hut. What will happen to her?
This is a classic fairytale from the Brothers Grimm about selflessness and looking after everyone equally.
Reviews
'The enchanting story of the woodcutter's three daughters has beautiful dreamlike illustrations, making this hardback book a treasure to read and keep.'
-- Family Interest Magazine, Jan/Feb 2008
'It's not life. It's a fairy tale and, in true Grimm's style, it's highly moralistic, environmentally right-on and disturbingly affectring.'
-- Mary Medlicott, The School Librarian, Spring 2008
