'There's more power and magic in those things in there than in all the rest of the world put together'

It has often been said that the author owed his writing success to the bedtime stories he created for his own children. What makes this book so special is that it reads as if the author were telling a remarkable story, spontaneously as it were, to a group of children listening intently at his feet.

First UK edition; 4to (242 x 170mm); several illustrations in b&w, usual age-toning, no spotting; publisher's original laminated pictorial boards, laminate cover to upper board is fragile, but the binding is very good, a clean copy in very good condition; 112pp.
