Uncle Wiggily And The Butternut Tree

Little Never-Upset

Little Never-Upset is a short story about a small, unflappable toy who lives among a rowdy cast of playroom characters — a snobbish French Doll, a resentful Cotton Doll, a hair-trigger Jack-in-the-box, and a grumpy Elephant who guards his shelf. When midnight squabbles spiral into chaos, it takes one shove, one tumble, and one burst of laughter from Little Never-Upset to make every toy pause and ask: what were we even fighting about? A quietly funny story built around one irresistible character.

The Seven Families of Pipple-Popple

The Seven Families of Pipple-Popple is a short story set in the absurd land of Gramble-Blamble, where seven animal families — parrots, storks, geese, owls, guinea pigs, cats, and fish — send their forty-nine children out to see the world with eight shillings and a warning each. One by one, the young creatures ignore their parents' advice with increasingly ridiculous and catastrophic results, from a brawl over a single cherry to a fatal encounter with a barking Plum-pudding Flea. Darkly comic and gleefully nonsensical, the story builds to a finale involving glass bottles, sealing wax, and museum exhibits.

Saint Nicholas and Pete

"Saint Nicholas and Pete" tells the story of the beloved Dutch gift-giver whose origins stretch back centuries to Turkey and beyond. Through a chain of tales — including a generous act of three bags of gold left for three poor girls — readers follow Saint Nicholas as he travels across countries, changes his clothes and customs to fit each land, and arrives in Holland each year by steamship with his loyal horse. At his side is Pete, his cheerful helper who carries toys, candy, and secrets.

Moon People

"Moon People" is a free short story that flips our familiar wonder about the universe into something quietly delightful. A cozy moon family goes about their evening — mother knitting, father smoking in his hat, baby swinging in a hammock — while the little moon baby gazes down at the glowing Earth below. The moon parents, in turn, wonder whether anyone lives on that distant, shining world. It's a small, imaginative twist that makes the universe feel both vast and warmly familiar.

The Easter Rabbit

The Easter Rabbit is a short story in which Lady Spring, eager to end winter's grip on the forest, searches for a brave messenger to carry news of her arrival to the children in the city. Robin, Red Fox, and Black Bear each decline — until a timid Bunny Rabbit agrees to venture out at midnight, armed with a mossy basket of coloured eggs and wild flowers. The story weaves together the awakening of the forest, the return of birdsong, and one small rabbit's quiet act of courage.
