Reviews
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.

Gr. 4-8. Wynne Jones has collected her stories from time-tested authors such as Kipling and C. S. Lewis as well as from contemporary ones such as Yolen. Some, like Lewis' "The House of Harfang" and L. Frank Baum's "The Amazing Flight of the Gump," are extracted from longer works and suffer from being taken out of context, but the variety of the selections offers something to readers who like to be scared as well as those who prefer to be charmed.
