Ursula Moray Williams (1911-2006) began writing and illustrating books at the age of nine or ten, together with her twin sister. The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged.

Other well-known stories by Ursula Moray Williams include Adventures of the Little Wooden Horse (1939), Bogwoppit (1978) and The Further Adventures of Gobbolino and the Little Wooden Horse (1984).

Over the course of a long career, she wrote more than sixty books for children, illustrating many of them herself. Gobbolino is supposed to grow up to be a witch’s cat, just like his mother and like his sister, Sootica, wants to be. They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples. He has blue eyes and one white paw and what he really wants is to be a kitchen cat and have people who love him. We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring there?
