INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by William Geldart & William Geldart. This reissue of Banks's exciting fairy story concerns a childless couple and the tiny fairy who defies the fairy queen to help the couple have a baby. The queen's revenge threatens the child, Bindi, but the good fairies triumph in the end. The infrequent black-and-white line drawings don't add much to the story, but Banks's well-constructed and varied tale can stand on its own.
