    Hi.

    This may be a long shot.

    I recall reading a book belonging to my father a good few years ago. It is now missing.
    I think it was a hard back with 4 books in 1. My favorite story was one about Pestilence (that may have been the name of the book - it had illustrations within it). There was another one with a picture of a yaught and I think it had the name 'Peggy'. Another story that a picture of a search dog. I don't recall the other story (there may have been just the 3).

    I have a lot of those old Reader's Digest books. If you haven't found your answer by this evening I'll try and dig them out after work. :)

    No, this doesn't seem to be among my collection anyway. :(
    All of them do seem to have four books though, so it's unlikely the one you're thinking of has three.

    Thanks anyway for looking. Yeah, I reckon you are right about the number of stories/books within the 1 book.
