Prezzo Basso A Necklace Of Raindrops Joan Aiken 9780224083805

“This is how it all began…” From ‘A Necklace of Raindrops’ to ‘The Patchwork Quilt’, here are eight classic stories to treasure and enjoy. Beginning and ending with a birthday, this spell-binding collection conjures up a world filled with magic, where wishes can come true. A necklace of raindrops that keeps its owner dry in the heaviest rainstorm; a tiger that runs faster than the wind; a huge floating apple pie with a piece of sky in it; a baker’s cat who swells to the size of a whale when his mistress feeds him yeast; a house that stands on one leg – these are just some of the objects and characters that figure in these delightful stories.
A beautiful new edition of Joan Aiken’s captivating collection of much-loved modern fairytales, now reissued with Jan Pienkowski’s original and iconic silhouette illustrations.
