| Summary |
"Granny's Wonderful Chair" by Frances Browne is a children's fantasy story written in the mid-19th century. The book centers around a little girl named Snowflower and her relationship with her grandmother, Dame Frostyface. In their quaint cottage, Snowflower discovers that her grandmother's old chair, blessed by a fairy, can tell stories and take her on adventures, promising delightful escapades filled with magic. At the start of the tale, we meet Snowflower, an exceptionally gentle and kind girl who lives in a modest cottage with her cantankerous but loving grandmother. When Dame Frostyface goes on a journey, she instructs Snowflower to ask their enchanted chair for stories and guidance whenever lonely. As Snowflower navigates her day-to-day life and the challenges that arise when her grandmother is away, she embarks on her first magical journey, facilitated by the chair. This opening sets the stage for a world where imagination thrives, and the bond between grandmother and granddaughter serves as the heart of the narrative.
