5.0 out of 5 stars This book is an Anything Box, May 28 2004
By J. A. Eyon "Little Raven" (Seattle - USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I don't risk generalizing like this often, but...Zenna Henderson stands alone as a writer. There is a melancholy streak in her writing, yet her characters have spunk and resilience. She prefers gentle, empathetic people. And, as a teacher, she vividly portrays children. This can all be found in the title story, "The Anything Box". If you don't like that one, you probably won't like Zenna Henderson's other stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Read, Jan 21 2004
By James A. Landrith Jr. "Free Will Agitator" (Alexandria, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Strangely enough, I was first introduced to Henderson's writings in 1990, through a group of electronica musicians who named their band after her short story The Anything Box. After reading an interview with the band, and learning of Henderson's influence, I read her excellent collection of short stories titled Anything Box.

In her short story The Anything Box, I appreciated Henderson's sympathetic characterization of the teacher. Henderson, a teacher herself, ably presented the character in a positive manner, without distracting us from the center of the story, Sue-lynn and her Anything Box. Through the teacher's observations, I grew sympathetic for Sue-lynn as a fragile, young mind. At the same time, I was thankful the young girl had such a caring teacher looking out for her well-being. As a side note, I'd like to think that Henderson was such a teacher, given her characterization of the teacher and her obvious empathy for her young charge.

The rest of the stories in this book are just as well-written and engrossing. This is positively one of the best books I've ever read.
