Collected Children's Stories by Sylvia Plath

5.0

I decided to reread this as my Plath choice for the Mad Woman's Book Club. I had originally decided to reread her fantastic Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams, but judged that I wouldn't have enough time to complete and review it before the month was out. Thus, I came to this tiny volume, which is still one of my favourites. Plath's work here is sweet and clever, and her prose playful. A lovely mixture of work is included in this collection - one long poem, a relative prose poem, and a short story. Such a wonderful imagination is contained throughout, and even as an adult I find her children's work endlessly entertaining.
