Once on a Time
by A. A. Milne
"This is a strange book," or so it says about the author's first introduction in 1917. A fairy tale with seven league boots, princess, sorcerer and Countess Belvan. As Milne writes in a later introduction: "But as you can see, I still have a hard time explaining what kind of book it is. Perhaps no explanation is needed. Read what you like in it; read to everyone; be the age you want; it can only enter one of two classes. You'll either like it or you'll not like it. Such a book. "
