The Chronicles of Harris Burdick: 14 Amazing Authors Tell the Tales by Chris Van Allsburg
5.0
Short stories are often what stick in my head. So reading this for the second time was like turning a light on in my mind.
Caterpillars that do math.
Metal that invades houses.
Ships in Venice.
Fake pumpkins.
These stories and pictures will randomly pop into my head, and often I have no idea where they are from. Now I do.
My favourite stories are "Missing in Venice" by Gregory Maguire, "Just Desert" by M. T. Anderson, and "The House in Maple Street" by Stephen King. But I also really love "The Seven Chairs" by Lois Lowry and "Oscar and Alphonse" by Chris Van Allsburg. And all the other stories. And the introduction by Lemony Snicket. So yeah, I really love this book.
