The Hick-Boo .

A Tale of a Tailless Transparent Goblin .

Written and illustrated by M. H. Stephen Smith. C1945

A fabulous children’s book with some wonderful illustrations. In good condition with the original unclipped dust jacket.

Caught in a fishing net and brought back to the family farm, the Hick-boo is only visible to children, although the grown-ups soon realise something is amiss amongst the smashed eggs, ruined cream and pigs made drunk on home made wine. 

A captivating tale completely of its time and beautifully illustrated by the author.
