Puffin Story Book PS141. 1st Edition, published 1960.
In these stories, verses, plays, Eleanor Farjeon touches real experience with that magic sparkle of gaiety, tenderness, and insight which is typical of her work. There is Elsie Piddock, skipping in her Sussex village, as never so, taught by the fairies the Long Skip, the Strong Skip, and the Skip against Trouble. There is a picture to remember for ever of the lovely village Anthony’s father called ‘the eye of the earth’. And there is the child guide at Chinon for whom the rabbit-healing ‘Maid’ was a reality. There are two stories of the King with two names, Ahasuerus in the Bile, but Xerxes in tales of Ancient Greece . . . and many more.
