LibriVox recording of The Rainbow Book by Mabel Henrietta Spielmann. Read in English by Librivox Volunteers. The Rainbow Book: Tales of Fun & Fancy is a book of children's stories from British author Mabel Henrietta Spielmann. Some are well known like The Sleeping Beauty, and some were invented for the book and are product of their time.
