Mrs. Molesworth

The Cuckoo Clock [illustrated Edition] Mrs. Molesworth Ill edition

Griselda, forced to move in with her aunts Grizzel and Tabitha, finds life so miserable that she throws a book at the cuckoo clock, which breaks. In return for persuading the cuckoo that she is sorry, the cuckoo takes her off to magical worlds. A classic fantasy tale originally published in 1877, the Wildside Press edition is a facsimile reprint complete with the original illustrations.

Mrs. Molesworth has been called "the Jane Austen of the nursery" with good reason.
