I loved this book as a child, and wish I could find it again. I'm sorry I ever got rid of it.

ADDENDUM: I found it, and it's just as wonderful a book as it was when I first read it, about 40 years ago! (

This is a new edition of a book from the 60's. I didn't see anything too exciting about it. (
