The Little Bookroom: Eleanor Farjeon's Short Stories for Children Chosen by Herself (New York Review Children's Collection) - Hardcover
Synopsis
In The Little Bookroom, Eleanor Farjeon mischievously tilts our workaday world to reveal its wonders and follies. Her selection of her favorite stories describes powerful--and sometimes exceedingly silly--monarchs, and commoners who are every bit their match; musicians and dancers who live for aft rather than earthly reward; and a goldfish who wishes to "marry the Moon, surpass the Sun, and possess the World."

Review
"Eleanor Farjeon's stories and poems have been a delight to children for many years, and here she has brought together a new collection of some of her own favorite stories...Storytellers will welcome it." -- Library Journal
"A selection of treasures from Eleanor Farjeon's full store of writing for children. Including some stories which have not appeared before in book form. They make a rich combination: gems for storytelling and reading aloud, for children's own reading, and a few that may be appreciated most fully by adults." -- The Horn Book "27 heartwarming tales..." -- Publisher's Weekly "Twenty-seven of Eleanor Farjeon's stories have been selected by the author herself to make an anthology in the classical fairy tale tradition yet lit with the sparks of reason needed to pry young minds loose from their moorings and to widen reading." -- Kirkus Review Selected as one of 100 Must-Reads (Age 13) by Instructor magazineBook Description
Beautiful books to give and to treasure
