A Wonderful Collection

I remember this book from my youth--the short story "Potato, Potato" was a bedtime favorite. The illustrator Jessie Wilcox Smith paired sweet color pictures with lovely folk tales and the result is a delightful book. Other standout stories are "the Selfish Giant," who would not share his garden with children, and "Becky's Christmas Dream," which I had not realized until now was a Louisa May Alcott short story. Equally accessible to boys or girls (some tales would seem to be more geared towards boys and some towards girls, though most are neither) and beautifully bound. Ages that most appreciate this would probably be 3 or 4 to 8 or 9. A collection worth getting your hands on!
