description: There is an old Norfolk story of a little black imp with a secret name and a twirling tail, who spun twelve skeins of flax in half an hour to save the pretty head of the Queen of Norfolk. Eleanor Farjeon has made the old tale the heart of this story for children, and round it has imagined a wonderful world-full of memorable people.
