About This Item
From the d.j. flap: "Joan Aiken's text and Jan Pienkowski's illustrations combine to enchanting effect in this new collection of stories 'Past Eight O'Clock", which are all concerned with sleeping and waking, dreams and bedtime. Each of the eight stories in the book is woven around the theme of a familiar lullaby or bedtime song."
Intriguing, shadowy endpapers. Black remainder mark on bottom edges.

children's and other illustrated books, along with aviation, sea and naval and other categories. I'm still plugging along after 42 years of book-selling.
