A charming tale of a year in the life of a special little island, magically illustrated in colorful detail.
The inhabitants of Old MacDonald's farm are described, verse by verse. Includes score at end of book.

There was a boy who used to sit in the twilight and listen to his great-aunt’s stories. She told him that if he could reach the place where the end of the rainbow stands he would find there a golden key… “And what is the key for?” the boy would ask. “What is it the key of? What will it open?” “That nobody knows,” his aunt would reply. “He has to find that out.” Now all that his great-aunt told the boy about the golden key would have been nonsense, had it not been that their little house stood on the borders of Fairyland. For it is perfectly well known that out of Fairyland nobody ever can find where the rainbow stands… George MacDonald’s classic tale, full of imaginat...
