Description

"The Three Sillies" is a retelling of the classic folktale by Flora Steel. The story follows three young villagers who are considered to be "silly" by their community because of their unorthodox beliefs and behavior. The first is a girl who insists on talking to animals, the second is a boy who believes in the power of magic, and the third is a young man who spends all his time playing the flute.

Author

Flora Annie Steel (1847–1929) wrote of India and of English folklore — fairy tales, legends, and novels from years spent in the Punjab. St. George of Merrie England and the story collections in our catalogue show a storyteller who moved between empire and nursery with a collector's ear. Sixteen titles make a generous Sovereign shelf of tale and history.
