Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"As the Goose Flies" by Katharine Pyle is a children's fantasy novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows a little girl named Ellen who embarks on an enchanting journey beyond the nursery wall and into a world filled with whimsical characters and fairy tale creatures. With themes of curiosity and adventure, she encounters figures from nursery rhymes and fairy tales, setting the stage for a series of magical discoveries. At the start of the tale, Ellen is preoccupied with a story her grandmother has forgotten. On a rainy day, while tidying up the bookcase, she discovers a way to slip behind the wall where she finds a vibrant meadow and a peculiar house inhabited by Mother Goose and various nursery rhyme characters. Eager to fill in her grandmother’s forgotten story about a princess named Goldenlocks, Ellen learns that forgotten tales reside in the house of the Queerbodies. With the help of a friendly gander, she embarks on an adventure through enchanted landscapes, leading her to meet interesting characters and face challenges that will test her courage and resourcefulness.
