NY, Harper & Row, 1st US, 1975, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket with some rubbing to rear panel. 133 pages. Black & white illustrations by Laszlo Kubinyi. When Bridget sees her younger brother, Simon, standing at the window under a full moon, begging unseen musicians to allow him to come back, then hears a careless remark made by an angry old woman, she begins to suspect that he is a changeling, a fairy child sent to replace her real brother, abducted in infancy. This would explain his volatile personality---sweet and coaxing one minute, angry and vicious the next---and his refusal to go near her blacksmith father's forge.Clean copy.
