A Bed full of Night-time Stories

Ten well-chosen and varied stories with a night-time theme by well-known contemporary authors form this anthology for 5-7 year olds. Many of the stories have a fairy-tale feel about them, and the collection includes three fine re-tellings of traditional tales. Those readers of nervous disposition may benefit from an encounter with Dick King-Smith's friendly headless ghost and Jenny Wagner's kindly werewolf, while Philippa Pearce's contribution ends with a rather neat twist. An anthology of consistently high standard, suitable for home or school use. It has occasional line drawings.
