One of my favorite stories when young, tho0ugh I read it in the St. Nicholas Anthology, not this version. It contains "The Walloping Window Blind" as well as many ,ore amusing verses to adorn the tale of Davy's adventures with the goblin --to me, it comes closer than most to the whimsy of Alice in Wonderland while actually being funnier. I am not usually fond of the Hildebrand's photo realistic style, but I think it works better for this story than most. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Davy, it seems, is a young boy who doesn't believe in make believe. No fairies, giants or goblins for him. So a goblin shows up to take him on a Believing Voyage, or something like that. So the book is a series of short vignettes wherein Davy comes across one imaginary thing or another. Some are from well-known stories, such as his visits to Jack and the Beanstalk's Farm and Sinbad the Sailor's House, and some are to places and creatures that were unknown to me.
I dunno, I wasn't much into this book. I suppose I need more of a plot now days. It would be a great book to read to small children, because it is fanciful and works well in small bits. The advantage for an adult reader is that the book contains oodles of word plays, which will likely be over the head of a six-to-ten-year old, but which will be fun for us more mature types. For example:
Anyway, there you have it. It's probably not worth one's while if one is just reading to himself, but likely to be well worthwhile if one is reading to a young child.
