Illustrated by
Rosanne Litzinger.
When an old woman knocks on her door looking for a place to sleep, cantankerous Griselda reluctantly allows her in. In return, the woman gives Griselda a kerchief, which she claims brings riches. And Griselda soon finds herself overcome, not by money, but by her own generous behavior. Both the good-natured story and the pastel-colored art incorporate traditional fairy tale elements.
