Friendly Fairies

'Friendly Fairies' is a book written and illustrated by Johnny Gruelle. This particular book presents fifteen unique fairy stories, including 'The Three Little Gnomes', 'Mr and Mrs Thumbkins', 'The Wishbone', 'Tim Tim TamyTam' and 'A Change of Coats.' Together, the stories provide entertainment as well as moral lessons to their young audiences; to be kind to those you meet, to always be generous, and to help those that need it. Gruelle (1880 - 1930), was an American artist and political cartoonist, as well as a children's book illustrator and author. Gruelle is best known for his 'Raggedy Ann Series', which chart the adventures of a little doll with red yarn for hair and a triangle nose.
