This scarce book used to belong to a library but book and wrapper remain in a good condition. >>> Because he has been exposed to measles, young Jakes must stay with elderly friends of his parents. He is lonely until Sand Boy, his own creation of pebbles and shells, comes to life. Their pleasant companionship is shared with Cockle, a mermaid, but is spoilt by the threat of a sea monster Glumper. >>> This was my absolute favourite book when I was a child. I even put Ruth Ainsworth in third place on my list of favourite authors (after Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl). Unfortunately it was a library book and after a while disappeared from my local library, but I've always wished I could get hold of a copy again. (Victoria on Goodreads)
