Excerpt from The Pot of Gold: And Other Stories The Flower family lived in a little house in a broad grassy meadow, which Sloped a few rods from their front door down to a gentle, silvery river. Right across the river rose a lovely dark green mountain, and when there was a rainbow, as there frequently was, nothing could have looked more enchanting than it did rising from the opposite bank of the stream with the wet, shadowy mountain for a background. All the Flower family would invariably run to their front windows and their door to see it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
