Fantasy Children’s Books Classics
A Book Of Dwarfs by Ruth Manning Sanders gathers classic fairy-tale dwarfs, gnomes, and little folk into one charming 1967 hardcover. Illustrated throughout by Robin Jacques, this vintage Methuen edition brings quiet magic to bedtime story collectors and young fantasy fans alike.
The sturdy binding still feels tight, pages are crisp and unmarked, and the jacket-free cover shows only light shelf evidence. A gentle wipe has lifted most of the outer marks; inside, the only blemish is a few tiny spots on the front pastedown—no writing, no dog-ears, no smoke odors.
Perfect for readers 4 to 12, the short tales also delight adults who cherish folklore and myth. Keep it on the shelf of cherished children’s fantasy or let its gnomes and legends spark nightly read-alouds.
