A Book of Dwarfs by Ruth Manning-Sanders gathers ten lesser-known folk tales where cunning little folk outwit giants, kings and even witches. First published 1967, this vintage Methuen hardcover pairs the author’s lively retellings with Robin Jacques’ sharp black-and-white illustrations, making it a charming shelf-piece for collectors of fairy-tale art and folklore.
The 96-page volume shows only light exterior marks; inside, the pages are crisp, unmarked and firmly bound. No inscriptions, ex-libris plates, or dog-eared corners—just a tidy, smoke-free copy ready for bedtime reading or display.
Ideal for ages 4 to adult, the stories read aloud beautifully yet carry enough depth for older readers exploring myth and legend. Add this scarce dwarf-themed anthology to your children’s fantasy collection while it’s still available.
