What happens when the old woman tricks the troll? How did the rushing waves learn how to roll? How can a sword prove the words of a mouse, and some pudding threaten an absurd little house? Ten tales reveal the magical rise of enchanted sweet potatoes and blueberry pies, of sparkly bean races up to the moon, and a greedy baker in a golden balloon. Of towers and ladders, of princes and twins, the taradiddles smile and welcome you in.
