There was a book which was read to me as a child that had a series of one page stories in it. I remember it being a thick book (but I was a child) The one story I remember the most was one about all the shoes that came out of the closet at night and danced around there room during the night. I tried Hans Christian Anderson but couldn’t find it. Have no other information. Would love to see read that story again.
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
Could this possibly be a version of ‘The Twelve Dancing Princesses’?
I wonder if it was a story in one of Andrew Lang’s Fairy Books. Each was named for a different color, and they all featured beautiful black and white drawings. I loved them as a kid. Your story does remind me of Twelve Dancing Princesses a bit, which is in the Red Fairy Book.
