Thrirteen is a dozen!I've been living in Holland for four years now and I was really interested in the story of Saint Nicholas. This book didn't fall short!(The book comes with a recipe in the end as an added bonus)
Shephard's retelling of fairy and folk tales are wonderfully charming. This one is about how the term a baker's dozen came into being. The illustrations are wonderful. It is a beautifully told fairy tale.
