But one day, Mrs. Quirk is spotted in the supermarket. And, as if that isn't bad enough, she is later seen trying on skates at the mall. Does she have a secret life? And just who is that girl that looks just like her -- only smaller? In this delightfully zany picture book, every child's curiosity is made wonderfully plain as Mrs. Quirk and her cohorts are found out at last!

    This timely second edition explores recent developments which strongly endorse play as an integral part of the curriculum.

    It journeys through time and lifetimes to ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Alexandria, and Jerusalem, in the company of the goddess-women of ancient history, and embraces the freedom of consciousness itself.
