A little about the story
Verses for children by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman: an old wife on a white horse with silver bells, Katy defended against all accusations, fireflies, flowers and the small dramas of a child's world.
Freeman was best known for her stories of New England village life, and these verses have the same warmth and gentle humour.
