This adaptation of the classic nursery rhyme of "Little Miss Muffet" is a versified version by Clara Doty Bates that expands upon the tale into a romantic fairy rescue story, turning Miss Muffet's fright into the beginning of a magical abduction by a Fairy Prince. This short versified story was first published in 1882 among Clara Doty Bates' collection of short stories called "Child Lore: Its Classics, Traditions and Jingles".

"Little Red Riding Hood" by Mrs. Clara Doty Bates is a retelling of the famous fairy tale in verse. She tells the story with the rhyme scheme: ABAB, and the poetic tale flows like a ballad. This version emphasizes gentle rhythm, fantastic imagery, and at times feelings of tension, all the while introducing children to a version of the familiar story that is delightfully poetic.

Puss in Boots is an anthropomorphic cat who helps his penniless master gain power, wealth, and the hand of a princess. He achieves this through cleverness and deceit, presenting gifts from his master and eventually tricking an ogre out of his castle. In the end, the miller’s son, with Puss’s help, marries the princess and becomes wealthy, rewarding the cat with a life of luxury as a lord.
