Elizabeth Rhodes Jackson
Illustrated by L. E. W. KATTELLE
This book is for all little boys and girls who love fairies and pixies.
Here we have a story about a boy named Wendell, who lives in Boston and
likes fairy stories and baseball MUCH more than he likes fractions – but
he does like reading and can be found in the children’s section of the
library on most days.
He even checked fairytale books out of the
library and took them home with him. At night his parents had to take
the books away from him as he was quite often found in the early hours
of the morning reading a book under his covers with a torch.
Then
Wendell reads about the Wishing Stone. On making enquiries he finds it
is no longer where his book said it would be and he starts to make
enquiries as to its current whereabouts – and so starts Wendell’s
adventure across Boston and into the land of Fairydom.
This volume
is sure to keep you and your young ones enchanted for hours, if not
because of the quantity, then their quality. They will have you coming
back for more time and again.
