The title story, "Little Saint Elizabeth," tells the story of a young girl who dedicates her life to helping others and is eventually rewarded with a miraculous gift. Other stories in the collection include "The Story of Prince Fairyfoot," "The Proud Little Grain of Wheat," "Behind the White Brick," and "The Unkind Gardener."Burnett's writing in these stories is characterized by her warmth and compassion for her characters, as well as her skillful use of vivid descriptions and imagery. The collection is a testament to Burnett's talent as a storyteller and her enduring appeal as a writer of children's literature.
