Every wind whispered a story. The South Wind came from Italy and
told a bright little fairy tale about Baby Benedetta. The North Wind
brought a weird story of the spiteful fairy-folk from a Scottish glen; the
laughing West Wind from Devonshire told of the King of the Mist, and the
delights of clotted cream; and the Kast Wind spoke of the brave sea-king’s
daughter in Norway over the sea, And all the tales were passing good.
