But Howard Pyle's absorbing tales have for generations enjoyed such overwhelming popularity with boys and girls that they have earned this unique distinction. This collection includes some of his most entertaining and imaginative works--24 delightful fairy tales, one for each hour of the day.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eWhen the Wonder Clock strikes one, a story unfolds that reveals how a youth raised by bears grew up to be the strongest man in the land. The two o-clock adventure tells of the faithful servant's search for a cup of the Water of Life. Other tales deal with giants and ogres, kings and princesses, wicked stepmothers, three-eyed witches and three-headed dragons, talking animals and talking trees. Among the remaining stories are \"How Boots Befooled the King,\" \"Cousin Greylegs, the Great Red Fox, and Grandfather Mole,\" and \"The Three Little Pigs and the Ogre.\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eA large measure of Howard Pyle's amazing success is his genius as an illustrator. Accompanying this collection are some of his most unforgettable illustrations, drawings which capture all of the magical splendor of Wonderland and its inhabitants. Each story is preceded by a delightful verse by Katharine Pyle that indicates the hour of the day and sets the stage for the tale which is to follow. 148 illustrations.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003eI.
