Noel was a little boy who wished to be put into a book and because he made his wish in the time of the blue moon it came true. And the book was all about Mother Goose, and his adventures in her country, where he met the little man all dressed in leather, the old woman who lived in a shoe and all the rest of them, are told in this story. There is humor both in the telling of the story and in the illustrations, which are by Alice Bolam Preston.
