“These gay, amusing stories are quite unlike any others you may know.  Most of them are about Mrs Pepperpot – a salty old character with good sharp wits which never deserted her, even when she shrank to about a thousandth part of her original size.  She just woke one morning to find herself the size of her own kitchen pepperpot – and how she was ever to get out of bed was a problem!  She had a husband to think of too, the house to clean, and a week’s wash in soak – not to mention the cat and dog to whom she must now look painfully like a bird or mouse.”
