About This Item
Scarce TRUE FIRST EDITION with correct $2.50 flap price -- a necessary first issue point. Picture book with cloth spine. Corners lightly rubbed, newsprint (?) shadow on front end paper + owner bookplate inside front cover, else bright and clean throughout. Nice jacket with a couple very small tears. Illustrated by Slobodkin.
Synopsis
This is the extraordinary story of a very nearly ordinary princess named Alicia. Given a magic fish-bone by a good fairy, Alicia can have whatever she wishes-provided she wishes for it at the right time. But it's never clear when the right time is, and sometimes the best magic is no magic at all.... Perfectly matched by Robert Florczak's spectacular illustrations, this funny and unexpectedly touching tale reveals a Victorian world that existed nowhere but in the mind of a child.
