Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Johnson, Pamela (illustrator). Stated First American Edition. Oversized Green cloth with orange lettering. Minor bump to head and heel of spine. Soil spot to lower edge of spine. Text is clean and bright, no marks. Wonderfully illustrated thoughout with drawings by Pamela Johnson. Clipped DJ shows rubbing to all edges, three strips of tape to reverse side of jacket along the top edge, light general soil. "The big brown parcel that washes up on the beach seems perfectly ordinary, that is, until it begins to speak and sing, and not in one voice but two! And the talking parcel is only the beginning of the amazing adventure of discovery that takes Penelope, Peter, and Simon from modern Greece to Mythologia, where flowers never die, where there are four different sunsets every day, and where all the famous (and infamous) mythological animals now live, ruled by absent-minded magician H.H. Junketberry." (from the jacket). Seller Inventory # C11817
