Crowell; 1981; $7.95) Piskies, Spriggans, and Other Magical Beings as retold by Shir ley Climo is a very interesting book about different beings, in cluding Knackers, Changlings, Small people, etc. who live in Cornwall. Some beings are good and some beings are bad. Climo paints beautiful pic tures with her words: “The men were skinny little things, with wrinkled skins, sloping shoul ders, and broomstick legs that ended in flat froglike feet.” The book consists of nine stories and some hints like, “Shoo toads from your door step, lest they come in and bring bad Spriggans with them,” that you can try yourself. I think that this book would be enjoyed by seven-to-twelve year-olds, both boys and girls. Climo is also the author of A Cobweb Christinas (which tells the origin of decorating with tin sel). Both books are available lo cally at the Literary Lion. —David Kohl Age 11 Health: Choices and Changes sponsored by Lecture: Fri. Dec. 9 8-10 pm $3.00 4lth Workshop: Sat.
