Description: ARMITAGE ARMITAGE FLY AWAY by Joan Aiken HC 1968 stated First Edition (NY, Doubleday) HTF Acceptable. A fantastical story by Joan Aiken about the Armitage family, whose mother received her wish for “a special day for interesting and unusual things to happen—say, Mondays. But not always Mondays, and not only Mondays.” The book relays the magical adventures of this unusual family, drawing in the reader from the first sentence and never letting go: “ Monday was the day on which unusual things were allowed, and even expected to happen at the Armitage house. It was on Monday, for instance, that two knights of the Round Table came and had a combat on the lawn, because they insisted that nowhere else was flat enough… And on another Monday, all the potatoes in a sack in the larder turned into the most beautiful Venetian glass apples…” Engrossing and witty, sure to appeal to Harry Potter fans, with detailed and whimsical line drawings by Betty Fraser Condition: Hard cover book is in acceptable condition with significant wear to front and back boards including at top and bottom of spine, edges and corners.Ex library copy with pocket removed, stamps and markings. Staining on blue end papers. Interior pages have no writing or tears but a few of the pages do have some smudges and stains along the edges. No loose pages. Very acceptable reading copy of a hard to find HC book.
