From the front jacket flap: "What would YOU do if you got a talking fairy in your eye, or if the train you were in started to moo? These are only two of the intriguing incidents in Barbara Sleigh's imaginative and highly original collection of fourteen contemporary fairy tales....Victor Ambrus's enchanting illustrations embellish this lively text." Originally published in Great Britain. Full number line = first printing. Fading on some of the spine printing, moderate page toning. The pictorial wrap-around jacket has some short edge tears, slight chipping at spine and fold ends, some darkening around edges. Rather scarce title.
