Queen Silver-Bell is the first in a series of four children's books by Frances Hodgson Burnett with illustrations by Harrison Cady.
In the first book the queen of the fairies, Queen Silver-Bell, loses her "temper" and becomes known from then on as Queen Crosspatch. She knows that she will never find her temper again until she has done something that would make people–-particularly children–-believe in fairies as they used to "once upon a time," so she decides to get a "respectable" person to write the stories down as she tells them. The subsequent stories in the series all have the subtitle "As Told By Queen Crosspatch."
The first book, Queen Silver-Bell, also contains the story "How Winnie Hatched The Little Rooks."
