Abstract:
King Oberon’s Forest is the only fairy tale written by Hilda van Stockum. It is the story of three brother dwarfs, renowned for their bad temper and unfriendliness, whose lives become completely changed after finding and taking in a foundling child. The book has a magical quality and reveals a different side of van Stockum. First published in 1957, King Oberon’s Forest is wise, witty and full of adventure. This new edition of the book includes all of the original drawings which were done by Brigid Marlin, Ms. van Stockum’s daughter who is an accomplished artist and writer.
