Fair and Brown go to church every Sunday, but their beautiful sister Trembling stays home to do chores. One day a magic henwife sends Trembling to church dressed in finery so dazzling that princes near and far want to marry her. Whimsical illustrations place this fanciful tale in Old Erin. A brief source note precedes the story.
