Great collection!, July 28 2011
By Snapcat - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Spellbound: Fantasy Stories (Paperback)
I had this same collection when I was in elementary school. It was called 'Fantasy Stories: A spellbinding collection' but I like the new name 'Spellbound' better. Anyway, I still have my old copy on the shelf and have fond enough memories of reading it that I just looked up again on Amazon. A great introduction to many classic novels in fantasy literature, with selections well chosen to whet the appetite of a younger reader. Also some good short stories that are not excerpted from larger works. A great mix! I think I'll read it again.
