Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Round Dozen
One day as I sat in a thicket of Alp roses in one of those lovely, lonely upper valleys, I happened to raise my eyes, and noticed, high in the cliff above, a tall narrow rock as white as snow, which looked exactly like a door set in the face of the gray precipice. An old shepherd came by, and I. Asked him about it. He said it was called The Door, and that the valley was called The Valley of the Door by some folks because of it, but that its real name was Das Friteethal, or Fritz's Val ley, on' account of a boy called Fritz who Once lived there. I wanted to know about the boy, and as the old man had a little time to spare, he sat down beside me and told this story, which I will now tell you.
