A Treasury of Funny Stories
Chosen by Andrew Matthews
The range of material in this lively collection is very wide, starting with stories like Sheila Lavelle's 'Harry's Aunt' and Margaret Joy's 'Miss Mee in a Muddle' at one end of the age-range to Jan Mark's marvellous 'Will's Version' (of the three little pigs) and Paul Jennings' 'UFD' which require a much higher level of sophistication on behalf of the reader or listener. So, it's not easy to say who this book is aimed at. It could be a useful and worthwhile standby for the staff bookshelf in a primary school, or a book for families to enjoy.
