Details : "In a flash of temper Griselda throws her schoolbook across the room at the chiming cuckoo clock.  Lonely and feeling sorry for herself, she suspects the cheerful cuckoo has been making fun of her.  The cuckoo withdraws into the clock and, for the first time in fifty years, is silent.  Griselda is horrified at what she has done.      A few nights later Griselda hears the cuckoo calling, and running into the moonlit room where the clock hangs, she begs him to return.  The carved doors open and the cuckoo not only accepts Griselda's apology but invites her to join him.  Griselda thinks he must be mad.  How can she fit into a clock?  And what will she do there?      This whimsical and witty story, loved by generations of readers, shows the rewards and some of the trials of friendship, no matter where it is found."  (from the back cover of the book)      Illustrated with line drawings by E.
