"The Bookseller reported - Saturday 12 November 1949 - TURNUP TALES By Edward Fittall - The stories contained in this book are told with uncommon skill by an author who understands, as a craftsman, the magic spell that words may hold for children, 5s. net."

"Aberdeen Press: - These stories are intended to be read aloud by parents or teachers, and such is the sense of humour of the author that the reader enjoys the stories every bit as much as the read-to. Highly collectible and useful."

Good clean interior, endpapers tanned, inscription of previous owner “Hilary Morth” in child’s writing. Hard cover, tan boards, marked. No dust-wrapper. 

A quaint and quirky book. Loved by children.
