Up One Pair of Stairs of My Bookhouse (Classic Reprint)
Description
Excerpt from Up One Pair of Stairs of My Bookhouse Once upon a time there was a little boy, named Anders, and he had a new cap. A prettier cap was never seen, for his mother herself had knit it; and who could ever make anything half so nice as Mother! The cap was red, except a small part in the middle. That was green, for there had not been enough red yarn to make it all; and the tassel was blue. Anders' brothers and sisters walked about admiring him; then he put his hands in his pockets and went out for a walk, for he was altogether Willing that everyone should see how fine his mother had made him. The first person he met was a farmhand walking beside a cart loaded with peat, and bidding his horse gee-up. When he saw Anders' new cap, the farmhand made a bow so deep that he bent nearly double, but Anders trotted proudly past him, holding his head very high.
