(3) 4-6 Treasures series. Illustrated by Juan Wijngaard. This literary fairy tale was penned by the Victorian writer at the request of a twelve-year-old girl. A boy named Gluck finds himself richly rewarded for his kind acts while his evil, money-grubbing brothers Schwartz and Hans are turned to stone for their avarice. Precisely detailed miniature paintings in this small edition complement the moralizing but elegantly written tale.
