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' (which most people do not know is really a fairy[1]) 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" and 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".
