I brought this book back from London to the US for my 4-year-old daughter, who rapidly decided that it was her favorite. She's now 6 and, there's still about 1/3 of the book she's not ready for yet, but we reread stories from it often and add a new one every month or so. There's no other book on her shelf we read as often--it's a gem.

Although this book is thick and heavy this has not stopped my sons, aged two and four, from thoroughly enjoying it. We have had this book for two years now and are still discovering new stories in it. The boys have their favourite stories which they turn to straight away, but having so many stories in the same volume encourages them to try new ones as well. I would highly recommend this book, which has given our family hours of enjoyment.

Not the original that I remember reading with my children 35 years ago but still packed with childrens literature that will last from toddler through to early teens.
Still the same nostalgic illustrations, most of the old favourite Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Stories plus more modern literature which will appeal to todays children. This book makes a great gift for birthday, Christmas or Christening. An excellent publication at an amazing price.
