Reissue (1964, Coward-McCann)
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Quentin Blake. Uncle is a benevolent, wealthy elephant whose adventures with neighboring dwarfs, animals, and eccentric humans make up the chapters of this British reprint. The book has been widely read in England, but the nonsense may be a hard sell for many American readers. Blake's illustrations are as sprightly as ever.
