About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

Reviews

[Krisz · Rating 3 out of 5]

No surprises, but an OK read.

Loved this book as a child

[Mills · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 Stars.

This children's book consists of four short stories for young readers. They are humorous takes on fairytales - "The princess who wouldn't get married" for example, seems to be a simplified/prettified take on King Thrushbeard. The stories are approachable and entertaining with a manageable amount of text for beginning readers.
