What a delightful book this is. A collection of fairy stories, fables, and reminiscences. Farjeon was a wonderful word stylist. Her stories are delightful. I found this book at the library and borrowed it on the strength of one of Farjeon’s poems that I have read. Poets seem to write wonderful books. ( )

This is one of the books in the New York Review Children's Collection. This book contains 27 short stories most of which I would characterize as fairy tales or fables. Most of the stories contain some type of moral lesson. It would be a great book for bedtime stories, most of the stories are 4-6 pages long (a few are longer than 10 pages). Like a lot of children's literature there are too many princesses and princes, kings and queens in these stories. This book is suitable for both boys and girls. ( )
