- Abstract
- en_US This is one of a boxed set of 30 fable books by Usborne, 5" x 7¾". This booklet is on the third level, 48 pages in length. A "jolly classic by the Brothers Grimm." Unlike his strong brother Ronald and his handsome brother Donald, Billy responds generously when asked by a little man to share his lunch. His reward turns out to be a golden goose. At least five characters get stuck to the goose and then to each other. When they stop at a castle, they cause the otherwise unsmiling princess to laugh, and the king invites Billy to marry her on the spot. At the wedding, the little man appears and releases the victims from sticking. With this story's magic, its elflike little man, and its multiple phases, I am hard pressed to see why it is included in a collection of "fables." The Gordons' illustrations are again engaging. The special emphasis on eyes enlivens their work! First published in the UK in 2008.
