Budapest, Hungary: Corvina Press, 1964 Translated from the Hungarian by Barna Balogh & Susan Kun, translation revised by Ruth Sutter. Edited by prominent Hungarian writer Gyula Illyes primarily for children; editor recasts these tales, but only to the degree of polishing the crudities and the carelesness inevitable in actural story telling, retaining all the original beauty and natural freshness of feeling.

Dust jacket has edge wear which is most pronounced on spine ends and lower corners, spine and edges sunned, cover has shelf wear with light creases.
