Abstract
Here is a second printing with dust-jacket of a book already in the collection. The dust-jacket has been repaired. Thirteen delightful fairy tales, usually starring a named individual with unusual gifts like poetry in a world where magic should happen and does. Apparently some illustrations that appeared in earlier individual publications of the stories are left out here, though the texts are intact. The simple, charming block art ornaments the excellent stories well. Some of the best stories include Frederick, Fish Is Fish, Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse, and Tico and the Golden Wings. This book had been very hard for me to find; the first copy was for kids to read in an adult bookstore!
