Three Mulla-Mulgars (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

Later re-titled The Three Royal Monkeys, this fantastical tale follows three monkeys—Thumb, Thimble, and Nod—on their journey across wintry Africa in order to live with their uncle. Along the way they encounter strange and curious creatures, deadly beasts, and other wildly imaginative characters. A beautiful, wondrous story—ideal for adults and young readers alike.
