Gudgekin, the Thistle Girl, and Other Tales

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good-. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good-. Illustrated by Sporn, Michael (illustrator). Possible first Edition.

Last page of text has corner torn off, otherwise very aattractive. Charming black and white line drawings by Michael Sporn. Four original fairy tales: "In the title story, a sweet tale, goodness reaps its own rewards, but evil doesn't do so badly either. Dry and wry, 'The Griffin and the Wise Old Philosopher' proposes that the best solution to the most perplexing questions often lies in total ignorance. 'The Shape-Shifters of Shorm,' darkly ironic, suggests that while it is noble to play by the rules, it's not very smart. And, finally, there is 'The Seagulls,' a lyrical tale in which the enchanted path to foreverafter turns out to be a cul-de-sac."; Ex-Library; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

The King of the Hummingbirds: and Other Tales
Seller: The Bark of the Beech Tree, Depoe Bay, OR, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Michael Sporn (illustrator). 1st Edition. The third of John Garner's volumes of fairy tales, following "Dragon, Dragon" and "Gudgekin the Thistle Girl". Here we have four more offbeat stories in which elves and witches, heroes and princesses, gnomes and dragons, all get a modern style in the telling. This book is strange in that it has no free endpapers. It is a first printing with the full number line, and has some browning and spotting to the edges and first page. Otherwise a near fine copy in a very good dust jacket indeed, just slightly brown and spotted to the white portions. MC.
