I am looking for the title of a book but can't remember much about it ! I know it has a bird that flies upside down and some sort of creatures/animals that move around on springs. It would have been out in the 1980's.
Sorry, can't remember anything else!

THE BOOK OF IMAGINARY BEINGS By Jorge Luis Borges (but it was published in the late 60's)

Was it a 'story'?

Thanks NazNomad, it was a story. Have had a look at this and unfortunately this isnt it. I have been racking my brains and I also remember it had a big dark tree in it. It could have been called the learning tree and i think thats where these spring creatures lived.
