Now that I've read Wrede and Ibbotson and Aiken and others, it was a much better experience.Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-85643742604100572382013-03-10T13:09:17.981-07:002013-03-10T13:09:17.981-07:00It's been ages since I read this book-- if I e...It's been ages since I read this book-- if I even DID read it. I bought it thinking it was short stories BY DWJ, and when it turned out not to be...well, who knows if I went through with it or not. After reading your review, I'm looking forward to (re?)reading it! <br /><br />Plus, I think now that I've actually read books by some of the authors in THIS book (Patricia C. Wrede and Eva Ibbotson, for example), I'm going to really like this book.

I don't trust authors that say they don't have time to read. :)Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-46415261682519728432013-03-09T12:25:30.386-08:002013-03-09T12:25:30.386-08:00I bet it will!

I was glad to know it was DWJ-approved. :)Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-6690299753120277242013-03-09T11:15:59.051-08:002013-03-09T11:15:59.051-08:00I am looking for a copy of The Seven Towers now! ...I am looking for a copy of The Seven Towers now! Thanks for this review. I'll see if my library has a copy of it, I'd like to see what fantasy she chose.

Same as you, I saw DWJ's name on the cover and decided to check it out. It was published under the name Fantasy Stories here in the UK and seems to be part of a wider series of books like this by the publisher (Adventure Stories, Animal Stories, Ghost Stories, etc...)<br /><br />I haven't read any of it yet, but I'm hoping it will provide much fodder for my "to read" list. :)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08954655413382143774noreply@blogger.com
