About the Author:
Diana Wynne Jones is a distinguished writer of fantasy for both adults and children. She won the Guardian Children's Fiction Award in 1978 for Who Got Rid of Angus Flint? Her astonishingly inventive novels - including Fire and Hemlock and The Merlin Conspiracy - are warmly received by critics and fantasy fans alike. She lives in Bristol. Robin Lawrie has illustrated books and magazines for over 25 years. He has illustrated, among others, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Secret Garden and The Wind in the Willows. He lives in Shropshire.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 4-6-A compilation of fantasy and folktales, one of which is by Jones. Consisting primarily of excerpts from classics such as Tove Jansson's Finn Family Moomintroll (Transaction, 1989), Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth (Knopf, 1972), C.S. Lewis's The Silver Chair (Macmillan, 1986), Edith Nesbit's Five Children and It (Puffin, 1985), L. Frank Baum's The Land of Oz (Ballantine, 1985), etc., the book also contains a story by the Brothers Grimm and one by Andrew Lang. Andre Norton, K.M. Briggs, Joan Aiken, and Jane Yolen are also among the 18 authors represented. This is a fine introduction to the genre; although the stories are long, they are well suited to reading aloud.
