I loved the 5 stories in this book, but I was a bit disappointed with the last one, "A Knot in the Grain". The other 4 were of a different time period and all had the fantasy type settings of times gone by, but the last took place in modern day New York. I kept waiting for a time warp or something ...
re-read, because it was on my bookshelves and I needed something short and fun. I really like several of the stories in this collection; the weakest, for me, is the last, which breaks the fairy-tale setting. It’s not a bad story at all, but in this collection it feels just a little out of place.
