Come into the forest with Calpurnia, a little girl who loves to make poems. Her dog Buggy-horse is with her, for he goes wher- ever she does.

It is a sunny day as Calpurnia starts out. Hard times have come to the forest, and her father has no fish to sell. She must find a place where there are fish..

So we go with her as she finds her secret river, and come back with her when it is all moonlight and mystery in the forest and : The little night things
Have songs and wings.

In time of need Calpurnia has found her secret river. Can she find it again? Where is this secret river? And do we all have secret rivers of our own?

This story means something to every- one who reads it, and to everyone who has imagination.
