Zustand: Very good to fine. First American edition. "Trapped by the rising waters of a sudden disastrous flood, Mark Vaughan and his sister Mary managed to find a boat and escape; but the great storm continued, sweeping over the coast of England and taking many lives. Mark and Mary - and an American friend with a rubber dinghy-set out heroically to rescue some of their neighbors. Suspense and rear mount as the waters rise higher and old Jim and Hepzie Foulger in their cottage on the shore, Mrs. Beamish and Myrtle who live at the post office, Canon Crowfoot and the choir marooned in the church, and the man others stranded in the little Norfolk village of Reedsmere are in desperate danger. Though this story is set in England, the threat of flood is a universally familiar situation and young American readers will identify with Mark and Mary and their bravery in an emergency that could happen anywhere. Based on a true incident, this is an exceptionally well-written and fast-moving story by Carnegie Medal winner Hester Burton. Exquisitely detailed drawings by Robin Jacques illustrate this distinguished book. Crisp, bright dust jacket is in very good to fine condition. 8vo. 204 pp. plus two pp. historical notes and author and illustrator biography. Illustrated by Robin Jacques (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, second printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 24 × 16.5cm, 127pp. Ogres and trolls are not always what you expect. As Manning-Sanders explains in her foreword, many ogres in fairy tales are exactly what you'd imagine - great, stupid, cruel creatures. But some are surprisingly clever, and most possess magical powers to assist them in their havoc. In rare cases, they can be just, forgiving, and even helpful. Trolls, meanwhile, are almost universally small creatures with magical powers of their own. Most are mischievous, but they can be convinced to do good. They are feared, respected, and even accepted by the people in these stories. In this collection, Ruth Manning-Sanders gathers thirteen tales from Russia, Iceland, Sicily, Italy, Ireland, Germany, and Denmark - each one featuring ogres, trolls, or both. The stories span a wonderful range of moods and surprises. There is a good ogre from Russia whose nature defies expectation. There are children who must outwit the ogre's terrible breath in Sicily. There is a troll wife in Iceland whose story proves that monsters are not always the monsters they're cracked up to be, and that a little kindness goes a long, long way. And there is even - rarest of all in fairy tales - a kind stepmother. Condition: The book itself is in excellent condition. The dustwrapper has a little tanning to the edges but is clean and in very good shape, and has not been price-clipped.…

From the wrapper, "The author has a rich and inexhaustible supply of tales. Most of them are totally unfamiliar, all are compelling in interest, and many of them hair-raising. These ghosts are no mere wraiths with rattling chains. They are as full of character and just as unexpected as the goblins are." Condition: The book itself is in excellent condition.
