Cozytown
"Why Cozytown is the delightfulest place imaginable, 'though it does stand on the very edge of things, surrounded by a high, gray wall- that the name of this wall is "Facts" need not bother us, nor that to most people it is impassable. Those who know walk straight up to the wall and, taking four steps to the left of an iron ring which they will find without much trouble, they knock sharply on a stone which says BELIEVE! Presto! Immediately a little gate appears and in they go to the town itself . . . "
"The Princess of Cozytown" Janet Laura Scott, Ruth Plumly Thompson 1922

Someone has scanned and uploaded the entire book to the web. Just type the full name into Google and it's the first link that comes up. The illustrations are wonderful! You can also download the entire book for off-web reading.
