  First published in 1937, this is the classic story of Little Elsie Piddock who can skip like never so. The High Skip, Slow Skip, the Skip Double-Double, the Long Skip, the Strong Skip, the Skip Against Trouble...Elsie Piddock learns them all. Soon she can even outskip the fairies on Mount Caburn and is rewarded by their Skipping-Master, Andy-Spandy, with a gift of rare and lasting value - a magical skipping-rope - that, many years later, helps her thwart an unpleasant landowner threatening to deny access to the skipping-ground.
