Another classic tale about dreaming and unexpected treasures in familiar places and an inspiration for a best selling novel.

This story appeals to all ages and whilst discussing with a friend recently, we reflected upon the influence that the novel version of this tale has had on our adult lives.

It's a cracking folk tale in it's finest form: simple, engaging and with just a seed of something to ponder afterwards.

I first discovered this story via Hugh Lupton's collection of Wisdom Tales, published by Barefoot Books.
