Description
It is evening at the Inn of the Sign of Mother Goose. In a dark, smoky room, the world's most famous storytellers gather to weave tales of mystery and enchantment.

This Looking Glass Library edition includes an introduction by N. D. Wilson and Pyle's intricate line illustrations from the original 1894 publication.
