Fantasy Lang, Andrew: The Crimson Fairy Book. IMP. 28 Sept 07

[RWood]

This 8th installment in the series is one that I had a child. It was given to me by a neighbor of my Grandfather whose own children had outgrown the book. He had picked it up in World War II when he was stationed in England with the US Army Air Corp.

For some reason the story that I remember best is the final one in the book, "The Magic Kettle" from Japan. (Perhaps it was because my own Father was stationed in Japan at the time.)

Enough of my memories. Go read the book and create some of your own memories.
