The Little Bookroom is a collection of twenty-seven of the best short stories of Eleanor Farjeon for children. These stories are wildly imaginative, almost fairy tales, filled with magic and strange juxtapositions and unexpected paths, all with deep and meaningful connections with the reader.

Here is a list of the titles:
The King and the Corn
The King's Daughter Cries for the Moon
Young Kate
The Flower Without a Name
The Goldfish
The Clumber Pup
The Miracle of the Poor Island
The Girl Who Kissed the Peach-Tree
Westwoods
The Barrel-Organ
The Giant and the Mite
The Little Dressmaker
The Lady's Room
The Seventh Princess
Leaving Paradise
The Little Lady's Roses
In Those Days
The Connemara Donkey
The Tims
Pennyworth
And I Dance Mine Own Child
The Lovebirds
San Fairy Ann
The Glass Peacock
The Kind Farmer
Old Surly and the Boy
Pannychis

My favorites were The Tims, The Connemara Donkey, The King's Daughter Cries for the Moon, and The Clumber Pup.
