The Spider's Palace: And Other Stories"A book of modern fairy tales with the same classic quality - fantastic, witty, and quite unlike any other stories for children. They deal with such diverse subjects as living inside a whale, giving off light, being turned into a giraffe, finding nothing in the dining room, and travelling into other people's houses by going through the telephone cord"--Inside front dust jacket. |
