Mainly in Moonlight by Nicholas Stuart Gray (nessreader)
nessreader: Both do pastiche fairy tales with a pinch of wryness and humour.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0006754899, Paperback)

Anything is magically possible in these twelve short stories by gifted storyteller, Joan Aiken. Imagine ordering a sunny day from the local weather witch, asking an appletree to answer the telephone and making a beautiful garden out of old cereal boxes. What would you do if you inherited a real hair loom, or found three ugly old ladies and a dragon on your doorstep and would you need a bicycle if you had a unicorn to ride?
