| Summary | "On the Tree Top" by Clara Doty Bates is a collection of children's poetry and stories written in the late 19th century. This delightful anthology features a variety of tales and whimsical verses that likely aim to entertain and instill moral lessons among young readers. The stories include familiar folktales like "Jack and the Beanstalk," "Cinderella," and "Puss in Boots," showcasing beloved characters and timeless adventures. The opening of the work introduces "The Gold Spinner," a retelling of the classic fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin. It depicts the plight of a miller's daughter who is forced by the king to spin straw into gold or face dire consequences. In her desperation, she is rescued by a mysterious dwarf who offers to help her in exchange for her future child. The narrative unfolds with themes of bargaining, the consequences of promises, and ultimate redemption, setting the stage for the charming and adventurous tales that follow in the collection.
