Looking for a book from my childhood.

[Rainbowheart]

This is very vague.

What were the stories about? What age was the book intended for?

[Ky]

A guess: The Arbuthnot Anthology of Children's Literature. It has several editions.

[Kris]

Kelly, do the short stories have a common theme (e.g., fantasy, animals, lessons about growing up, families, etc.)?

Can you describe some of the stories?

[Molly]

The World Treasury of Children's Literature: Books I & II ? The Goodreads version doesn’t have a blue cover, but mine does (it’s from the early 80s). Solid blue with a small gold-colored sketch of swans.
