The stories here are not that inspiring. There's the occasional good one but some are a bit plodding.

Fantastic Fun
7 Feb 2003
Format:Paperback
Hilarious! This is one of the best books for Children and Adults alike as it manages to entertain on many levels.
There is a great mixture of new and more traditional stories which I never got bored of reading.
Favourites include "The Stowaways" and "Handsel and Gristel" as well as "The Guest who ran away".
It doesn't matter where you open the book, you can always find something to amuse you.
