William Steig

Roland sets out to see the world, armed with his lute and his sweet voice, but a scheming fox almost roasts him before he is rescued by the king.

Farmer Palmer and his hired hand, Ebenezer, have a fine morning selling their leeks, turnips, and lettuce at the market. By noon they're on their way home with a brand new straw hat for Eenerzer and gifts for the whole Palmer family. But before long harum-scarum gusts of wind sweep through, setting off a whole series of misadventures.
