The Last Slice of the Rainbow
A collection of Joan Aiken's splendid stories is always a welcome addition to home or school libraries. However, a word of caution to prospective purchasers of this 'new' set. There are nine stories in all, but three of these were anthologised between 1977 and 1982, while the whole collection was first published by Cape in 1985. So a few minutes spent checking the contents list in the bookshop may prevent disappointment when you get home. The theme of fantasy links the collection and the Aiken narrative magic is evident throughout.
