A first edition of Shirley Jackson's book
from daisychainvintage on etsy
"A girl is given nine wishes by a mysterious magician, and her choices
perfectly capture a childlike imagination. For example, wish one is for
an orange pony with a purple tail; wish two is for a squirrel holding a
nut that opens and inside is a Christmas tree; wish eight is for a little
box and inside is another box and inside is another box and inside is
another box and inside that is an elephant . . . But the girl is hard pressed
to make a ninth wish, and instead leaves it on a rock for some other
lucky person to find. "
