Description:
Pip the Pixie is a typical Enid Blyton creation—a lively, mischievous, and comical
little creature. In this book, she tells of his endless adventures in the countryside,
among the birds, animals, and insects, most of which are bigger than Pip himself.
These are more than pixie adventures, of course—they are pointers to all kinds of
nature facts. What is the cuckoo-spit? Why do the leaves change colour? We see all of these
strange and interesting facts through the eyes of Pip the Pixie, one of Blyton's most
engaging characters.
Illustrated with Raymond Sheppard's superb b&w etchings – some of which are full-page.
