The Worm and the Toffee-Nosed Princess

There are five stories in this book, all about monsters of one sort or another and all not to be taken seriously. The title story is of a huge worm who swallows an obnoxious princess. She is rescued, reluctantly, by an elderly knight who refuses to marry such a horrid person and therefore lives a very lonely life. Meanwhile, the worm, having been chopped up by the knight, spends a long time joining himself together, gets his head in the middle by mistake, likes it and lives happily ever after. Not the usual sort of monster story and nor are the rest. They are just right for children, ready for longer books but not for novel format, who like silly stories. I enjoyed them, too!
