The Return of the Antelope

A gorgeous Picture Puffin this -- a real cameo of Victorian nursery life, beautifully illustrated. Willis Hall wrote the Granada TV series--well worth viewing -- and this book, with Mary Hoffman's text, is based on it. The story of two children who rescue three Lilliputians -- yes Gulliver's Travels yet lives (who says the classics age dead?)--is lively and easily readable by those who have progressed to more elaborate fiction. I've sold all the copies in the school bookshop already, though I have it on good authority that it is the pictures that clinch the sale!
