The old woman is happy living in her old vinegar bottle house by a loch,
until one day she saves a charming fish prince who grants her wishes in
return.
At first the old woman's wishes are humble -- a hot dinner and a little
cottage -- but as she asks for more and more extravagant things she
forgets how happy she used to be in her little vinegar bottle house with
her cat, Malt. Can her wishes truly bring her happiness?
This traditional tale is adapted with charm and humor by Rumer Godden,
one of the twentieth-century's best-loved writers, while the beautiful
artwork of best-selling illustrator Mairi Hedderwick, creator of Katie
Morag, give the story a Scottish twist!
Featuring beautiful Scottish landscapes and lively characters, The Old
Woman Who Lived in a Vinegar Bottle is a wonderful traditional tale to
share with young children.
