Collected Stories for Children - 17 Short Stories
Walter De La Mare
Collected Stories for Children was first published in 1947 and is a collection of the best seventeen short stories written by Walter de la Mare. The stories cover a range of subjects, but are all dreamy and poetic, captivating both adults and children. The book was awarded the Carnegie Medal in 1947, the first time a collection of stories had won this award. It was unexpected, as none of the stories were new, spanning the previous two decades, but the award acknowledged him in this way: "the achievement of the most gifted writer of the century who had dedicated his finest powers to delighting children". The stories contained in the collection are ? Dick and the Beanstalk ? The Dutch Cheese ? A Penny a Day ? The Scarecrow ? The Three Sleeping Boys of Warwickshire ? The Lovely Myfanwy ? Lucy ? Miss Jemima ? The Magic Jacket ? The Lord Fish ? Mr. Bumps and his Monkey (also known as The Old Lion) ? Broomsticks ? Alice's Godmother ? The Maria-Fly ? Visitors ? Sambo and the Snow Mountains ? The Riddle
