About
the Book
There was once an old woman who hated chores.
"Work! Work! Work! How I hate it! Hate it! Hate it!" One day some
fairies show up. They . . .
clankety
clankety-clankety
—clean all the dishes.
Swishety-swishety-swishety
—sweep
the house.
Flumpety-flumpety-flumpety
—
shake out the bedclothes.
Clickety-clickety-clickety
—work
on all the knitting. But then there is nothing left to do. So, they tear
everything apart and start again!
Clankety-clankety-clankety,
swishety-swishety-swishety
. . . . The fairies are driving the
old woman crazy! How will she get them to leave? Lively watercolor illustrations
add to this Celtic retelling by master storyteller Margaret Read MacDonald. An
author’s note is also
included.
