Elsie Piddock Skips in Her Sleep

(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Charlotte Voake. Elsie is a rope skipper so talented that the fairies take her under their wing and teach her all their secret steps. Included in Farjeon's 1937 collection Martin Pippin in the Daisy Field, this story was published alone a few years ago as part of the Candlewick Treasures series. Now it receives full-blown picture book treatment, with delicately colored drawings that dance off the pages as lightly as Elsie skips.
