«The Old Woman Who Lived in a Vinegar Bottle» is the children's picture book by Rumer Godden, published by Floris Books in hardcover (32 pages, in English).
An old woman lives happily in a house shaped like a vinegar bottle beside a lake. When she saves a fish prince, he grants her wishes: first she asks for little, then for ever greater whims, and forgets the simple life she shared with her cat Malt. A fable about greed set in Scotland.
It belongs to the Picture Kelpies: Traditional Scottish Tales series. The illustrations are by Mairi Hedderwick, creator of Katie Morag, and the edition was published in 2018.
Aimed at early readers aged 4 to 7 and for sharing aloud, also as a bedtime story.
Margaret Rumer Godden was a British author of more than 60 fiction and non-fiction books. Nine of her works have been made into films, most notably Black Narcissus in 1947 and The River in 1951.
