Great bargain way to check out a superb author

A Choice of Magic is an anthology of 32 fairy tales from around the world that have been collected and retold by Ruth Manning-Sanders. This book is mostly a collection of tales published in previous Manning-Sanders anthologies. Stories are pulled from A Book of Princes and Princesses, A Book of Giants, A Book of Dwarfs, A Book of Dragons), A Book of Ghosts and Goblins, A Book of Witches, A Book of Mermaids, and A Book of Wizards. There are also four previously unpublished stories. With 32 stories, this has more than twice as many tales as most Manning-Sanders title. A wonderful introduction to her writing and great value. It has the tremendous Robin Jacques illustrations, too. Grab this one if you can find it! Table of Contents Foreword 1. The Wonderful Shirt (Russia) 2. The Frog (Ukraine) 3.
