I actually own this book, My aunt gave it to me for my birthday when I was younger. These stories are absolutely amazing, I still read this book. I almost have the stories memorized. The pictures are absolutely breathtaking. My personal favorite is the Weaver of Tomorrow. If you see this book somewhere, grab it, it's well worth it...

I had this book when I was a child and I remember how beautiful the stories and illustrations were -- my favorite was the titular "Girl Who Cried Flowers" about a girl who later turned into an olive tree. The stories are poignant and touching; Yolen's text is like dark chocolate: rich and to be savored slowly, over and over again, though without the possibility of ever getting sick of it; the illustrations are rich, imaginative, and exquisitely rendered. A beautiful book that I hope is reprinted for future generations to enjoy.

My Father read this to me when I was young...it was his favorite book...I was looking for the actual book but ended up with only the tape. I was not disappointed!! Having the author read it gives it the life she wanted for those stories!! wonderfully done!
