The Blishens have completely overcome my resistance to anthologies with these packages of stories including familiar old favourites such as 'My Naughty Little Sister', beautifully presented traditional folk tales from all over the world, and jewels from authors embracing the constraints of short story formats to produce writing that's powerful, poetic and wonderfully evocative. Not one of these stories failed - a tribute indeed, as they were sometimes sandwiched between activities and often read at the end of busy days!
