编辑推荐 Amazon.co.uk Review
In the foreword to this book, author Michael Morpurgo who chose which stories to be included explains the origin of his childhood love of boys' books.

I chose boys's books, I think, because I needed to feel that I was the hero in the book. I found it easier if the hero was a boy or a man. I could put myself in his place, do what he did, go where he went, feel what he felt

This collection of classic boy's stories is sure to provoke similar feelings of empathy and excitement in its readers. There are 17 chapters, all short extracts from well-loved children's books selected for their naughtiness, exploits or swashbuckling adventure value. Among the stories included are: Just William by Richmal Crompton, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl and Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie. Each extract also has short introduction to the characters and all the stories have different illustrators so the book has an interesting variety of looks. Beautifully presented with thick, glossy pages, this is an ideal gift book and the anthology is perfect for introducing children to characters they will want to read more about. Boys will love this book, but the stories here would be enjoyed by all children. (Ages 9-11) --Rachel Ediss
