A jealous and evil queen casts a dreadful spell over her 12 stepchildren - she exiles her beautiful stepdaughter, Elise, and turns her 11 stepsons into wild swans. Princess Elise sets out to find her brothers and release them from the spell, but finds that she must perform a nearly impossible task to carry out the rescue - create coats of mail out of sharp nettles for each of her brothers, and not speak a word the entire time. Even the love of a king - and the treachery of his adviser - must not deter her from her task. Sigourney Weaver narrates this beautiful version of one of Hans Christian Andersen's most compelling tales.

Not much happens here. A mole gives up spring-cleaning. A dragon refuses to fight. Children explore gardens, secrets, and grown-up nonsense. And that's exactly the charm.

These are tales where animals talk, time meanders, and adventure might mean simply getting lost — on purpose. This volume brings together four of Grahame's most loved works: The Wind in the Willows, The Reluctant Dragon, The Golden Age, and Dream Days.
