    _George's house. The twisty-curly paths which led to the sea.
    The old man sitting on the seashore. The hour-glass. "Are you
    Father Time, please?" "A stitch in time saves nine." "Follow
    your fortune, little George!" And it was Puck after all!_


    CHAPTER VII

    =MORE ADVENTURES=                                                 89

    _Alexander could_ really _talk, for barking_ is _talking. George
    learns more about the little house. The golden weathercock
    guides them on their way. Everything and everybody can talk.
    This way to Once-upon-a-Time!_


    CHAPTER VIII

    =A NICE DRAGON=                                                   99

    _All about the wonders in this strange country. "She lives not
    far from here." Oh, it was_ ever _so much bigger than one
    expected! A game at 'catch-my-tail.' The dragon who went
    to look for his fortune. George is told that he is not real. A
    ride on the dragon's back._


    CHAPTER IX

    =THE WITCH=                                                      113

    _The witch's kitchen. What a witch really looks like. Her
    curious smile. Wonders will never cease! What happened
    when the kettle boiled. "Will you ride on your catoplane?"
    George guesses again. It is all_ very _puzzling_.


    CHAPTER X

    =THE HIGH MOUNTAINS=                                             121

    _The tower which came to life. "Who's 'Him,' please?" How
    witches can read your thoughts. Why the giant was so sad.
    They fly toward the glowing mountains, and George sings a song._


    CHAPTER XI

    =TOM TIDDLER'S GROUND=                                           129

    _The funny little man who told George all about it. "Ask for
    what you want." The wonderful meal. Picking up gold and
    silver. Tom Tiddler's sack. Alexander is George's best
    friend after all. George's fortune grows heavier and heavier,
    then lighter and lighter. The story of the golden sausage._


    CHAPTER XII

    =OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY=                                    143

    _The path which was like the letter S. At the top of the
    mountain. "Where does that music come from?" The
    little weathercock again. Home once more. What George
    found in his sack. Never throw your fortune away!_


    CHAPTER XIII

    =SIR TRISTRAM=                                                   153

    _Topsy-turvy thoughts. Fancy a giant with an umbrella!
    George finds a new suit, and Alexander disappears. To the
    Castle of the Thousand Towers. The knight who was bound
    on a quest. They arrive at the castle._


    CHAPTER XIV

    =AT COURT=                                                       163
