Six of these seven fairy tales are totally original--"The Hundredth Dove," "The Maiden Made of Fire," "The Wind Cap," "The White Seal Maid," "The Promise," "The Lady and the Merman." The seventh, "Once A Good Man," was based on an old story. This was the third collection of fairy tales I wrote and together with The Girl Who Cried Flowers and Moon Ribbon led to my being called the Hans Christian Andersen of America. Putting the stories in a single volume was the idea of my astute and wonderful editor Ann K. Beneduce, and she had a hand in all my fairy tales for many years after. There were editions in England and Japan.

       Out of print.

Recording: Michale Gabriel did a storytelling version of "The White Seal Maid", published in THE HUNDREDTH DOVE and TALES OF WONDER, on her tape "Word Dreams".
