AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Having sold his straw bed to buy a looking glass for his vain wife, Bessie, Tommy has no money left at all. When he is hungry, Bessie wishes that he'd bought a pound of sausages instead. Her wish breaks the looking glass spell and releases a fairy who rewards the couple with sausages and mash, a new bed and two shillings and threepence.
