Loading... The Little Bookroom (1955)by Eleanor Farjeon
None. 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. One of my favorites of all time. Enchanting, haunting, a treasure no reviews | add a review
