I didn't enjoy this nearly as much as I expected to, and I can't really figure out why. I feel like it should have been just my thing, and I'm disappointed it wasn't. All of the stories were set in the same village and featured a magical element. Unusually for this genre, the adults were accepting of the magic and at times participants.
The final story was very special and was the best in an otherwise mediocre collection.
I've listened to a number of science fiction books narrated by Librivox's Phil Chevernet, but this is the first time I've heard him narrate a children's book. I think I like his reading of a children's book much better.
