5.0 out of 5 stars The best read in ages 7 Dec 2000

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

I loved this book. It filled your mind with joy, sadness, suspicion and horror. I particularly love 'Letter from Kalymnos' one of the many short stories in this book. I loved it beacause i never expected the ending to be so dramatic and heart renching. Just the poem 'From Hereabout hill' gave a warm picture of a perfect life. No book i've read compares with this collection of short stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Collection of Short Stories 26 Nov 2012

By ACB (swansea) TOP 50 REVIEWER

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

In his foreward, Michael Morpurgo compares mining with writing, hoping for the 'rich seam' we need. He has struck gold with nine short stories that start with a mining adventure, 'The Giant's Necklace'. The author is a massive contributor to childrens' literature. I have passed this through my primary school teacher-daughter and my 9 year old grandaughter and the feedback was the same. Excellence, variety, gripping and everything children wish for with sustainable suspense and attention capture. I confess, as a senior citizen, I found the stories captivating as well. Morpurgo hits his audience with the right content applicable to age and reading ability. Marvellous talent and book.
