Mrs Pepperpot's Outing (Paperback, New edition)

The little old lady who shrinks without warning to the size of a pepperpot in a story that is consistently slight. The outing occurs in Mr. Pepperpot's car, and during the course of the afternoon jaunt Mrs. Pepperpot shrinks five times - and collects a cat, a pig, a dog and a hen, which she must smuggle home without her husband's knowledge. The complications result from her attempts to keep all of this a secret from her husband, though he is solicitous throughout about her affliction and agreeable to keeping the animals once they are revealed to him, back home - which makes what little plot there is seem arbitrary. Mrs. Pepperpot's friends will want to join her excursion, bat there's just too much shrinking and swelling with too little point. (Kirkus Reviews)

A day out in the countryside is never an ordinary outing if Mrs Pepperpot's involved. First, she has to be rescued from a mountain of ice cream by an abandoned kitten. Then she has to use her wits to outsmart a crafty fox and rescue a puppy from the circus. In fact she shrinks five times - and Mr Pepperpot hardly notices a thing! A compilation of four fantastic short stories including: Mrs Pepperpot's Outing; Mrs Pepperpot Has a Visitor From America; Gapy Gob Gets a Letter From the King; Mrs Pepperpot and the Budgerigar.
