A first edition, first printing of A Necklace of Raindrops by Joan Aiken, published by Jonathan Cape, London in 1968, with illustrations by Jan Pienkowski. A near fine copy without inscriptions, bumping to the head of the spine, some light spotting to the text block. In a near fine unclipped wrapper, toning to the spine, shelf-wear to the head of the spine, a surface scrape to the upper edge of front panel, spotting internally.

A Necklace of Raindrops by Joan Aiken is an enchanting collection of eight modern fairy tales for children. Its stories feature flying pies, enormous cats, magical houses and other marvellous transformations, blending folklore with playful invention. Aiken’s clear, musical storytelling gives each tale the timeless quality of traditional myth, while Jan Pieńkowski’s striking illustrations add colour and atmosphere. Whimsical, mysterious and gently unsettling, it remains one of her best-loved books for young readers.
