Louise de la RamÉe -- also known as Ouida -- was a remarkable nineteenth century writer, with a heck of a range -- she published classic adventure novels, like Under Two Flags; but she also wrote lots of essays -- and books, like this charming tale, for children. That's not to say adult readers should feel shy of it; Ouida's children's fiction has an enduring and endearing quality that makes the pages sing.
