Publisher's Synopsis
Dulcie, a little girl in the deep South of the United States, travels in search of the wishing tree, accompanied by her nanny Alice, her little brother Dicky, and Maurice, a very special friend. When they find it, their wishes begin to come true and they realize what happens when one is selfish. Although it's said that Faulkner was always interested in the perspective of children, this is the only tale he wrote specifically for them.
