Roger McGough's first book for children. "Mr Noselighter, who has a candle instead of a nose, sets out to deliver a birthday cake to his grandmother. He loses the cake on the way, but it is restored to him by a friendly leprechaun. Mr Noselighter promises to give the leprechaun a midnight snack as a reward—but forgets. The next morning he finds he's been turned into an elephant as a punishment. An unforgettable experience." Wonderfully illustrated by Andre Francois.

Condition

The book itself is in very good condition, with a little tanning to the cream boards' edges. The dustwrapper is good plus, with some light spotted foxing and tanning to the folds. It has not been price-clipped.
