The Chronicles of Harris Burdick: 14 Amazing Authors Tell the Tales by Chris Van Allsburg

2.0

I was so disappointed in this book! I love Van Allsburg and his illustrations, which were always accompanied with wonderful tales that I loved to read when I was little. So, when I saw this book at work I couldn't wait to start it. I ended up liking about 3 of the stories in this collection of short stories by authors I have read and also loved! I don't know what went wrong, but the stories didn't seem to be too concerned with weaving Allsburg's illustration into their story, and came out feeling empty and unfulfilled. Perhaps these great authors couldn't handle a length restriction? Who knows why this book left me feeling disappointed with the authors I really enjoy reading.
