Editorial Reviews

Review

A little girl hears a tapping on her window one night and when she looks outside she spies a curious sooty creature riding on the back of a flying pussy-cat! In a moment she is off and flying with them, up into the night, and much further away from home than she ever intended. Who is this person who rides on kitty cats in the middle of the night? How is our heroine going to get back home, safely into bed - or is it all just a magical dream? This wonderful bed-time story is full of fantasy, adventure and magical watercolors that will stir the imagination of children of all ages. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars he warped my brain as a child, and i love him for it., January 6, 1998
This review is from: The Fly-By-Night (Twentieth-Century Fairy Tales) (Hardcover)
As a chiled my father read me this story and it scaired the s*** out of me. my bed was under a sky light so I thought I was easy prey, because nobody could resist the call of the fly by night I thought. I had the biggest scaire one night when I woke up to a neabors BLACK CAT walking accross my window!! If you havent read this story or anny other terry jones faerie tales, log off and make you're way to the library. or just order them, all of them! and I doesent matter how old you are, Adults can apreciate the stories as much as children, maybe more. these stories are fresh and alive. I cherish my coppy of Fairy Tales ( the colection fly by night came from), It shaires a place in my heart with my OLD coppyes of grim and anderson fairy tales (the good ones with unhappyness, death and loss of limbs),narnia and the terrible horrible no good verry bad day. If you like fairy tales/ the fly by night check out: the curse of the vampire socks fantastic stories other terry jones books. If you like kids poems like Where the sidewalk ends you will definetly enjoy The curse of the vampire socks. I could go on forever about kids books, if you want to talk e-mail me
