This book is so beautiful - I wish it was back in print! I paid too much for a ratty old copy, but I'm glad I did.

Edward Ardizzone is one of my favorite illustrators and he doesn't disappoint here.

I was not familiar with Walter de la Mare, but his writing is beautiful. He adds a lot to the stories, but it doesn't feel forced or artificial. And he picks some stories I did not know (and I really thought I knew them pretty well!).

The language may be a little complicated for my 6th-graders, but it is so beautiful that I think I will read them aloud so it can at least wash over them. This is a poet's voice, not an encyclopedia's, so I don't know what I would leave out.
