I seem to have misplaced my favorite storybook from my childhood. So here is your challenge. It includes the rhyming story "The house that Jack built." The cover is blue with red lettering and a white bearded wizard. It is at least 25 years old. Hardbacked. There are stories of dragons and circuses, and witches.
“Stories to Treasure”, Eric Kincaid (illustr.) Pub 1985 ? (It was also published under two other titles)
