"This was, I think, my first fantasy style book, and I'm sure that if I like Harry Potter today, it's because of books like this...and of course the next on the list.."
"The Arabian Nights: wonderful humour, marvellous imagery. The expression 'a timeless classic' has sadly become a cliché, here, however is a book which truly deserves that description."
"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Book 1) - and when they start reading the HP series, they won't stop. I'm looking forward to talking about Harry's adventures when my children are old enough"
"Shakespeare's Stories for Young Readers is a great way to familiarise children with some of the greatest stories ever written by the world's greatest storyteller."
