Mother West Wind “When” Stories by Thornton W. Burgess
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A friend sent me in search of these books almost 4 years ago. I found three of the set in February. Before delivering the books, i decided to read the books to see why these books are so hard to find.
I’m still wondering why these are so popular. Basically each story is set up as a template with an animal inserted. The tale is the same with only the details of the fantasy of how an animal got thy it is. Seems to me even a child would tire of the same story over and over.
What could save these is excellent writing. The writing is OK, if not ponderous. Not excellent.
Bottom line: i don’t recommend this collection of stories. 5 out of 10 points.
