"A Pig On Ice," "Horsefeathers," and "Thereby Hangs a Tale" are
by Charles Earle Funk and were published by Perennial Library
(Harper & Row). I don't know whether they're still in print; my
copies came from used book stores.
They're fun books.
(I checked with Rebecca off list, though, and none of these three
has the particular phrase she's looking for.)
