3.5 stars.
A lovely little anthology with a very folky, authentic feel. I'd definitely recommend this read for young children who can read chapter books. What a did find weird was an excerpt for "A Wrinkle in Time". The excerpt was the last 2 chapters. This effectively spoils the book, and was a poor decision on the editor's part.
