The Adventures of Peter Wheat #24
In this whimsical 1950 adventure, Peter Wheat and his bakery crew track a mischievous fawn stealing cream puffs—only to follow him into the magical realm of Fairy Land. There, Peter pledges to aid the fairy queen in confronting an ancient evil, the Wizard of the Hornet Knights, in a tale spun by Walt Kelly, who both wrote and illustrated the story with his signature charm. The cover by Walt Kelly captures the playful mystery of the journey.
