It all started when Georgie, hardly more than a wisp of thistledown, discovered she could jump down twelve steps in two big graceful bounds. Next, to her great delight, she learned that jumping from the porch and floating as high as the rooftop was possible too. So when the mysterious Canada goose came to her window one night it seemed only natural to climb onto his back and go off with him to learn how to really fly.
Jane Langton spins a marvelous fantasy that wild delight all who dream that someday, somehow, we will magically find ourselves aloft and suddenly able to fly!

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: very good. Dust Jacket Condition: very good. Erik Blegvad (illustrator). First Edition. Fourth book in a series, the Hall family chronicles. The book really stands on its own, and there is nothing missing from any part of the story that would indicate other installments have gone before. It is a sophisticated book, good for readers who are already very familiar with fairy tales and fantasy, and who don't necessarily mind a challenging, unsettling story. Interestingly, it compares well with A Ring of Endless Light by Madeleine L'Engle, which was the other Newbery Honor book in 1981. Title page art and cover by Erik Blegvad. 1981 Newberry Honor Book First edition. Some foxing around the edges of the dust-jacket which is price-clipped. First edition specified. Inscribed by the author to Chelsea with a drawing. 5¾" - 8½". Inscribed by author. book. Seller Inventory # 277143
