I was bought and read this as a child, so the stories have a particular resonance with me, but I honestly think it's a wonderful collection. The artwork is beautiful and the tales touching and full of imagination - they're undiminished when read as an adult with more knowledge of cliché and similar styles. Just great. (  ) krypto | Jan 15, 2007 |  I spent hours staring at the beautiful, atmospheric watercolour illustrations as a kid, and even wrote a few stories of my own based on some favourite images. Opening the book still has the power to transport me back to a place of wonder. (  ) betterthanchocolate | Nov 26, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review
