《学校图书馆杂志》(School Library Journal)书评
Gr 4 Up-As in previous volumes of th is popular series, selections represent a wide variety of cultures and include a mix of familiar and exotic tales. Sophisticated readers will enjoy the mythological resonance of "Dicey and Orpus," a traditional African-American tale that parallels the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. Others may be inspired to read some of the longer works from which tales have been extracted, such as Washington Irving's "Guests from Gibbet Island" or Hans Christian Andersen's "The Rose Elf." Younger children will simply appreciate San Souci's ability to condense a scary story without softening its impact or sacrificing the flow and tone of the text. Rogers's black-and-white illustrations of scary images enhance the book's appeal. Extensive notes on the origins and incarnations of the stories are included. This well-written collection will satisfy patron demand and provide the opportunity to experience and enjoy quality literature. Young readers will gobble up these 30 thrilling snacks and beg for more.Lisa Dennis, The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh (c) Copyright 2010.

Drawn from folktales and legends, this collection includes many multicultural selections, as well as adaptations of stories by Charles Dickens, Hans Christian Andersen, and Washington Irving, and a toned-down version of 'The Licked Hand' urban myth. The brevity of the tales and the highly atmospheric prose make this a natural for campfire and sleepover reading. Informative source notes are included. From HORN BOOK 1997, (c) Copyright 2010.

Gr. 5-8. San Souci groups together 30 tales that not only read well but also work as splendid choices for oral telling around a campfire, on a trip, in school, or at a sleepover. The volume has a multicultural flavor, with tales originating in Iceland, Ireland, France, China, Nigeria, Martinique, and in different parts of the U.S. Most are folktales, but some selections have been adapted from the work of great writers such as Washington Irving, and one is a popular urban legend. A few of the stories actually may be more familiar in other versions. As usual, San Souci provides good source notes, a boon for storytellers looking for variants of a particular story.
