Looking for a short stories book
Posted: 27 May 2014, 21:56
Hello,
I know it's a long shot but I am wondering if anyone knows the title of a book I loved in my childhood - it was a collection of short stories but I don't remember many details. I remember an illustration of someone hanging washing out on a line, possibly a story about someone losing matches, and on the inside back cover of the book was something about different girls of different time eras: I remember each had a little verse, the last one being of a girl of the future in a silver spacesuit! There may have been a story in the book about a fairy that needed her wings mending, and they were mended with gossamer thread - or something like that.
Ring any bells?
Many thanks
