Cape, U.K. 1977. First Edition, Hard Cover, Illustrated by: Marriott Pat. Very Good/Very Good. 223 pages, size 8 inches tall by 5 inches. ' The Faithless Lollybird contains stories of magic, mystery and miraculous surprise. When a barrel of water is tipped over in 'A Tray of Tea', not only do little sisters turn into bicycles and brothers into collies, but ancient King Edward and his Queen Eleanor strange ly seem to be somewhere about. One lesson to learn from 'The Locking Glass Tree' is to beware of any new neighbour who grows exotic mushrooms or enough deadly nightshade to poison the whole village. Because next thing you know she might change your cat into a 250-pound timber wolf! You may never have believed in the ghost of a dog - particularly one who died 800 years ago - until you have read the strange talc of 'Crusader's Toby'. For all the exciting parcels and letters he delivered, there was never so much as a card for poor Fred the postman, but all his troubles began the day he was tempted to steal just one in 'The Man Who Pinched God's Letter'. These stories take us to all parts of the world. 'The Faithless Lollybird' recounts the frantic search through the capitals of Europe to soothe the hurt feelings of a bird who could weave spectacular fabric out of almost any thing, provided you showed him the proper respect. And in Venice, where the cats have a passionate fondness for music, a great musician is saved from starvation in 'The Cat Who Lived in a Drainpipe'. For the countless readers who have grown to love Joan Aiken's stories andfor any who have yet to discover their unique spell, this collection will give hours of special pleasure '.
