The Yellow Fairy Book part 6

“One day, when he was away hunting, the woman fell ill, and in a few days she died. Her husband grieved bitterly, and buried her in the house where she had passed her life; but as the time went on he felt so lonely without her that he made a wooden doll about her height and size for company, and dressed it in her clothes.”

Andrew Lang, ed., The Yellow Fairy Book
