I remember a storybook collection with one story in particular that stood out, which I have been unable to find mention of here or elsewhere. The story was of a boy who blew a bubble and stepped into it. The bubble floated up and up and up. Eventually he came down sliding on an icicle. The anthology also contained a wonderfully illustrated rendition of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the other stories in the collection.
I was born in the early 80s and my sister the late 70s so I suspect this collection was published around then or earlier
I found this one on project Gutenberg. The Magic Soap Bubble. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/26944/26944-h/26944-h.htm
Oh thank you however, most unfortunately, that is not it. The anthology was beautifully illustrated and the aforementioned story within was much more concise. (Quite literally, the kid blew a bubble, stepped in, went up, then came sliding down on a giant icicle.)
