marc520: "Wonder-Box Tales" by Jean Ingelow is a collection of enchanting children's stories likely written in the late 19th century. This delightful anthology features various whimsical tales and fairy tales, incorporating elements of magic and moral lessons. The stories often revolve around characters such as fairies, woodmen, and magical creatures, blending fantastical elements with everyday life, appealing to the imagination of its young readers. The opening portion introduces us to the first tale, "The Ouphe of the Wood," where a woodman's wife unknowingly offers hospitality to a powerful forest creature, the Ouphe. The narrative follows her kind-hearted offer to help a seemingly helpless old man, who is, unbeknownst to her, the Ouphe in disguise. After a night of generosity, the woodman discovers that the Ouphe has left behind a knapsack filled with gold. However, as the couple begins to indulge in their newfound wealth, their lives turn turbulent, leading to quarrels and unhappiness, suggesting a moral about the dangers of greed and the importance of true happiness over material wealth. Ultimately, the young wife’s dream unveils her relief that their humble life remains intact, emphasizing the story's gentle lessons about contentment and the unexpected consequences of desires.
