Este libro me ha servido mucho para aprender inglés de forma literaria, lo recomiendo mucho.
Ha decir verdad, no tenía muchas expectativas sobre los cuentos pero me he llevado una grata sorpresa. La mayoría tienen una historia que cautiva y con un final sorprendente, dejan de lado los clichés y los escenarios típicos de cualquier cuento y se adentran a historias increíbles. Además tiene ejercicios al finalizar el cuento, a mi parecer son algo sencillos pero eso es mi error por comprar nivel D.

El único detalle es que no tiene las respuestas de los ejercicios y eso podría ser un problema a la hora de practicar tu comprensión lectora.

Mis relatos favoritos fueron "The Angel" y "Pop's Boy".

A book like this can be helpful for a writer to think outside the box and help them be inspired to come up with new ideas in their own writing. The stories are short and can be enjoyed by either a kid or an adult with excellent pencil illustrations. Looking at the illustrations can also help an artist pick up on a certain style of drawing. There's a variety of stories that will appeal to different people who like different genres like western, mystery, etc.
