The stories in it were published over a range of years, but Aiken began writing them in the 30's, and many date from the 40's.<br />However, I would agree that there's a wonderful bounty of books for children now, for all reading levels, and catering to a much wider variety of tastes than were available when I was a child, let alone generations before that. Some of the classics will never be beaten, but there are lots of new treasures being brought into the world now. It's a real delight!Anne E.G.

One thing I will grant: children's books are better than ever.Paxnoreply@blogger.com
