Slight edge wear, small stain on bottom edge. An attractive copy. Another wonderful tale by the incomparable Roald Dahl. "‘Marvelous things will start happening to you. . . and you will never again be miserable in your whole life.’ Whereupon the little man gave James some magic green things and scurried away. But James, who hated his wicked aunts, Sponge and Spiker, spilled the green things under the old peach tree. Sadly, he resigned himself to misery when suddenly a huge peach appeared on top of the tree! Soon it was as big as a small house. Crawling inside, James met wonderful new friends: cheerful Grasshopper, dainty Ladybug, and grumpy Centipede, whose razor-sharp jaws severed the thick peach stem. . . And away the peach household rolled, embarked on a series of madcap adventures." Black and white illustrations enhanced with color by Nancy Ekholm Burkert.

| 4. | Dahl, Roald My Uncle Oswald
New York Ballantine Books 1981 First American Printing Mass Market Paperback Good+ 6¾" - 7¾" Tall
Reading crease, corners a bit bumped, inside covers starting to yellow, but text clean and unmarked. "Behold Uncle Oswald, Michelangelo of seduction. He makes Casanova look like Winnie the Pooh. He stumbles - circa 1919 - upon the world's most powerful aphrodisiac: Powered Sudanese Blister Beetle. It makes Spanish Fly look like Ovaltine. When he also learns how to freeze sperm, he comes up with the greatest idea of all time: to use the delectably seductive adventuress Yasmin as bait, feed his aphrodisiac to fifty-one living geniuses and crowned heads of state - from James Joyce to King Albert, from Puccini to Picasso - and sell the results of their unsurpassed excitement to rich and ambitious women who want just the right father for their children."

Like new. "Who needs a ladder when you've got a giraffe with an extending neck? The Ladderless Window-Cleaning Company certainly doesn't.

Now they have their big break -- a chance to clean all 677 windows of Hampshire House, owned by the richest man in all of England! That's exciting enough, but along the way there are surprised and adventures beyond their wildest window-washing dreams. "
