Forward Commando. Very Good condition

A collection of seven stories about the goings-on in the shops that line a particular street in a country village.

An animal story with a very original plot. A farmer has been taken ill and his animals decide to shift for themselves at the farm, rather than separate and visit the neighbors. Then the S.P.C.A. interferes, and a neighbor's grandchild puts her oar in and rescues them. Although the animals are humanized to some extent, it it is not in any sense the "bedtime story" type of thing, but seems very natural and amusing and just as it should be.

Treasured for generations, this is one of the most classic and beloved children's stories of all time reworked with native fairies, scary zombies and transforming magic. The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams (1922) is seamlessly retold by A.R. Jung in this enchanting tale about blossoming self esteem. A toy rabbit comes to life through the love of a child. In addition to her stylistic adaptations, Jung reworked the story line of the animated film-The First Easter Rabbit (1976) narrated by Burl Ives, but kept the premise that this story explains the Easter Bunny’s origin. This is the story of the Easter Bunny's childhood. "Nursery magic is very strange and wonderful, and only those playthings that are old, wise and experienced like the Unicorn Rocking Horse understand all about it." Like the Unicorn, Jung understands how toys-and people-become real through the wisdom and experience of both giving and receiving love. A modern classic written to inspire even the most reluctant readers- both boys and girls alike!
