| Summary | "Granny's Wonderful Chair & Its Tales of Fairy Times" by Frances Browne is a collection of children's fairy tales written in the mid-19th century. The book features the enchanting journey of a little girl named Snowflower, who, along with her grandmother Dame Frostyface, experiences magical adventures thanks to a remarkable chair that can tell stories and transport her wherever she wishes. Through these tales, Browne invites readers into a whimsical world filled with fairies, rich visuals, and underlying moral lessons. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Snowflower and her grandmother, living a humble life in a small peat cottage at the edge of a forest. When Dame Frostyface leaves for a journey, she gives Snowflower the extraordinary chair, with a specific command to ask it for a story when loneliness sets in. As the chair begins to share captivating tales, Snowflower’s curiosity and kindness lead her to gather experiences that go beyond her simple cottage life. This opening sets the stage for her eventual adventures, capturing the essence of childhood wonder and the power of storytelling. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
