[*] Wilson, Bingham Thoburn. Village of Hide and seek. $1.25. Consolidated retail booksellers.
The village of Hide and seek lies at the end of a perilous cliff journey over which Aunt Twaddles, a fat, coarse-skirted witch of the mountains, conducts two children in search of pennyroyal. In her own realm the witch is transformed into a beautiful fairy queen of the dolls, and with her brother Santa Claus furnishes rare entertainment for the visitors.
