A simple tale in which a thief takes a fairy's pair of magic boots and is made to return them. The author founded The Worlds End Press.
Ann Brunskill (1923–2018), was a printmaker, publisher, painter, and etcher. She studied at the Chelsea School of Art & Design (1959–62). She established her own printing label, The World’s End Press, using a Lion platen press to create her own books. Her artwork consisted of etching, woodcutting, painting and construction. She added more colour to her printing process for books by using woodblocks painted with watercolour and printed in a Japanese method. She also worked with digital images. She has exhibited at the Victoria & Albert Museum and the British Crafts Centre in London. Her work can be found in the V&A, National Library of Australia, Government Art Collection, The British Library, and the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris.
