My grandfather gave me this book when I was little, and I have read it over and over again since then. This is one of the best collections of fairy-tale type stories I have ever come across - not violent, sappy or stupid, just extremely silly and charming and fun. I cannot believe that this book is out of print, and that it is likely to be lost to the world. This book is even better than the Harry Potter ones which are now winning over the world; unfortunately, probably since it came out in the 1970s when children's books weren't exactly enjoying a heyday, this book never seems to have gotten the fame and loyal following it deserves. I recommend it to everyone, of any age.

A friend of the family gave me this book when I was a child in Massachusetts... I read it over and over again and laughed out loud every time. Now I have two small children of my own and they choose to hear these stories all the time. When I just searched Amazon to find a copy to give to my son's teacher for his class, I was shocked to find that "Princess Hynchatti" was out of print! Princes, Princesses and Witches...adventures and humor, love stories..this collection of stories has it all. Please re-print this book!

Extremely whimsical, utterly original, enchantingly hilarious (reminds me of Terry Pratchett humour), and always magical and romantic. Lucky are those who know this collection of sublime gems.
