There and Back Again by Evelyn Davey-Collins. Illustrated by M W Whittington. While their parents are abroad, Jerry and Joan, the twins, accompany Rosy Liza (a devoted Dutch doll) to the enchanting land of There-and-Back-Again, where they enjoy a most exciting holiday with Uncle Pumpkin, at Cucumber Cottage. The twins visit Toy Village (where they are mistaken for Jack and Jill, and put in the Nursery Rhyme Book) attend Dame Gingerbread's school; and meet Hop, Skip and Jump, the rabbit triplets who live in the Wood of Delight; Sammy, the Golliwog-man; The Star Keeper and the Sky Fairies; the Clockmaker; a talkative scarecrow, and many other most intriguing characters. Their adventures are very numerous, and most thrilling; but the greatest of them all is a very venturesome journey which the twins undertake to Christmas Pudding Mountain, for which, as a reward for their courage, they are granted two most important wishes by the Gift Fairy Queen. Great for reading to your children if you take your laptop on holiday! |
