About this ebook
From the pen that gave the world the Nutcracker comes a tender, whimsical fairy tale of two country children and the magical playmate who slips out of the woods to enchant their days.
First published in 1817 within The Serapion Brethren, The Stranger Child tells of Felix and Christlieb, whose simple woodland games are transformed by a radiant, shape-shifting visitor, until a sinister tutor threatens their happiness.

Read & Co. Books is delighted to republish this whimsical fairy tale in a beautiful new edition for readers young and old to treasure.
