Imagine ordering a sunny day from the local weather witch, asking an
apple tree 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? Anything is magically
possible in these twelve short stories by gifted story-teller Joan
Aiken.
