Bellairs, John; Fitschen, Marilyn -- The Pedant and the Shuffly
A picture-book story, which I already had in the recent NESFA edition,
but when I saw an original edition I grabbed it. A logician lurks in
the woods, trapping people and proving they don't exist. A kindly old
sorcerer tangles with him, and triumphs, with the aid of a shuffly. I
really don't see what else you're waiting to hear, but I'll quote
anyway: "Have you ever thought that you might not exist?" "Yes, I
have thought so, but when I do, I throw myself down stairwells till
the feeling goes away."
