| Summary |
"Sandman's Goodnight Stories" by Abbie Phillips Walker is a collection of whimsical children's tales written in the early 20th century. The stories feature a variety of enchanting characters, such as fairies, animals, and even magical creatures, each conveying moral lessons or themes of friendship and adventure. Through charming narratives and imaginative settings, the book aims to entertain and educate young readers before bedtime. The opening of the collection introduces several delightful tales, starting with "The Eatyoup," where Dicky Duck's wisdom leads him to a perilous encounter with Mr. Fox. Following this, "The Tell-Tale Goblin" unfolds the secret romance of a little fairy and a river god, caught under the watchful eye of a gossip-prone goblin. Each story characteristically blends humor, fantasy, and character growth, setting a tone for the delightful and imaginative experiences that lie ahead in the rest of the collection.
