Synopsis
This amazing collection of eighteen stories introduces young readers to the best contemporary writers of fantasy. It also contains extracts from enduring classics such as C. S. Lewis's The Silver Chair, Puck of Pook's Hill by Rudyard Kipling and Five Children and It by E. Nesbit. Robin Lawrie's imaginative illustrations bring evil witches, a web-footed Marshwiggle and a very irritable dragon - among other bizarre characters - to life. Carefully selected by the renowned children's writer Diana Wynne Jones, this is an anthology to treasure.

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-A compilation of fantasy and folktales, one of which is by Jones. Consisting primarily of excerpts from classics such as Tove Jansson's Finn Family Moomintroll (Transaction, 1989), Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth (Knopf, 1972), C.S. Lewis's The Silver Chair (Macmillan, 1986), Edith Nesbit's Five Children and It (Puffin, 1985), L. Frank Baum's The Land of Oz (Ballantine, 1985), etc., the book also contains a story by the Brothers Grimm and one by Andrew Lang. Andre Norton, K.M. Briggs, Joan Aiken, and Jane Yolen are also among the 18 authors represented. This is a fine introduction to the genre; although the stories are long, they are well suited to reading aloud.
