After reading The It-Doesn't-Matter-Suit in its beautiful Hungarian edition, I just had to get my hands on the "other stories" for children by Sylvia Plath, too. And I loved them to bits. I really like it when an adult is able to meet children's unbounded imagination. It was a joy to read, highly recommended to anyone interested in discovering an utterly different Sylvia Plath. (
