Customer Reviews

Fabulous book is being lost for children everywhere!

My grandfather gave me this book when I was little, and I have read it over and over again since then. This is one of the best collections of fairy-tale type stories I have ever come across - not violent, sappy or stupid, just extremely silly and charming and fun. I cannot believe that this book is out of print, and that it is likely to be lost to the world. This book is even better than the Harry Potter ones which are now winning over the world; unfortunately, probably since it came out in the 1970s when children's books weren't exactly enjoying a heyday, this book never seems to have gotten the fame and loyal following it deserves. I recommend it to everyone, of any age.
