The magic fish
Strange first sentence: 'Long ago lived a fisherman and his wife in a dirty little cottage near the sea'.

The Magic Fish by Freya Littledale
This is my favorite retelling of the story "The Fisherman and His Wife" from Grimm'sTales.
The artwork is simple but effective, and the rhyming repetition of the fisherman's requests give a wave-like rocking motion to the recitation.

Stories of Ghosts, Witches, and Demons by Jerry Contreras
While looking for something else on Amazon, I came across this book and immediately recognized the cover as a book I had read in grade school. The publisher is Scholastic, so that makes sense. I often ordered books from the catalog. I like ghost stories; I'm sure I liked this book.
