Looking for a book

Post by ejcthompson »

I am looking for an Enid Blyton book I read as a child, I have forgotten the title but I do remember it was about a pixie who used to take 2 children into fairy land i think he lived at the bottom of the childrens garden maybe under the hegde (its not the magic wishing chair) any ideas i am wanting to read it to my children as I loved it as a child.

Welcome to the website and forums. You might be thinking of Run-About's Holiday.

I'd love a copy of that, but apart from cheap paperbacks, eBay has a copy at the princely sum of £20. I don't think a 1966 reprint is worth that much.

Edit: Just seen THIS on Amazon.com - a new copy for $141.40! Maybe that 1966 copy is a bargain!

I have a first ed of Run About's Holiday, no d/j but in reasonable condition, which I've not yet read as ''fantasy' (apart from Amelia Jane) isn't my favourite EB genre. I got my copy on ebay several months ago for probably 3 or 4 pounds I would think.
