- Summary:
- When the naive second son loses his family's magic heirlooms to the selfish queen, he discovers by accident a way to recover them.
- Notes:
- "First Edition."
- "The type used for the title is Chisel, and the text face is a Linotype Janson. The book was printed by offset. Mrs. Zemach executed the three-color illustrations with brush in ink and in tan and purple watercolor. Her emphasis is on drawing, with color and other design factors subordinate to characterization, gesture, and expression. The Italian flavor and humor of the drawings complements the text."--Colophon.
- Designed by Atha Tehon.
