The book !umcp-cs!rene described as

	It IS about a prince who was locked in tower,
	couldn't walk, and had a magic carpet. We
	don't remember much else, just pictures and
	vague impressions. I thought it was a book,
	and my sister thinks it was a short story. Any
	bells rung out there?

is The Little Lame Prince.  The very old copy I have gives only the
name "Miss Mulock" for the author.  I can't find a copyright date
but it's a 220 page novel (hard cover) with an original price of 40 cents.
I found it at a used book sale several years ago and also had
memorys of it as a very good children's story that I wanted to reread.
I definitly remember The Secret Garden as another book I read and
enjoyed but I can't remember any of the story and don't have a copy.
