When a humble old farmer plants turnips in his field, one of them grows and grows ... and grows ... and Grows. The king rewards the farmer handsomely for his efforts -- much to the dismay of the arrogant squire who lives across the way. But when the squire attempts to claim a similar reward, will he get more than he bargains for? Brain Alderson's charming text and Fritz Wegner's humorous illustrations have yielded a "champion" tale that will delight anyone who's ever cheered for the underdog.

The tale of the turnip
Brian Alderson, whose many projects in the field of folklore include his work on editing Andrew Lang's color fairy books, here turns his attention to the traditional English tale about a humble farmer and his massive turnip. The old farmer knows that such a champion turnip should go to the king, and he is handsomely rewarded for his decision, causing the arrogant (and envious) squire who lives next door to make his own gift to the king - with hilarious results...
The story of two neighbors, each of whom gets their just deserts, The Tale of the Turnip is simply told, and suitable for younger children. It is accompanied by Fritz Wegner's delightful illustrations, in which the highly expressive faces of both man and beast wonderfully convey the humor of the situation.
