 collins group/wm. collins sons (re-check) lions imprint p/b
(collins bought gordon landsborough's may fair books ltd., including the armada books imprint and list, subsumed bits into different parts of the collins group, and i'm not yet sure of the exact order of the changes in the armada, armada lions, collins lions, process - or, indeed, if there was a single exact process...) (it's why there's an armada lions lion logo hiding on the front cover - they kept this, though they don't seem to've kept the may fair books imprint going long - or the apparently related icon/ikon imprint going at all.)

cover art by erik blegvad (yes, really) (signed, iirc uncredited)

later collins/fontana lions p/b editions were abridged, but this unabridged edition may have seen reprints.

 #1 of a very atmospheric fantasy trilogy:

#1: "the tree that sat down" (1945) (this novel)
#2: "the stream that stood still" (1948), q.v.
#3: "the mountain of magic" (1950), q.v.

a much later novel returns to judy, mrs. judy and miss smith, but lacks any apparent connexion in setting, or almost any trace, feel or touch whatsoever of the original three:

"the wickedest witch in the world" (1971), q.v.

abridged omnibus of #1 & #2:

#O: ''the tree that sat down / the stream that stood still'' (both uk and merkin h/cvrs 1960), q.v.

° - abridged omnibus: the 1962 reprint of the merkin h/cvr was printed in england in 1962

 magical!

but be aware of an abridged edition published by collins in lions p/b with this same cover art, and re-printed repeatedly.
