Description
The fierce little woman lived in a house at the end of a jetty. She knitted socks in blue and green wool to sell to sailors who had got their feet wet. But when there were no ships at her jetty, she was quite alone.
One stormy day, a pirate came to the house on the jetty. He stood on his toes, and starting tap-tap-tapping on the window…
After a battle of words through the jetty trapdoor, these two windswept heroes find they are suited after all in a warm story of a carefree family.
