 This would be best for confident readers, but I think that it would also work very well as a bedtime book to share with those a little too young to read it themselves, perhaps around seven or eight years old, as the stories would be exciting to listen to, and they are perfect for frosty winter evenings when you're wrapped up tight in bed and just in need of a good story to send you off to sleep.  It's also a wonderful prompt to look up these authors and see what else they have written.  Highly recommended!
-Further reading suggestion: For more short story delights, try [[Of Lions and Unicorns: A Lifetime of Tales from the Master Storyteller by Michael Morpurgo]].

 With everything from dragons to mysterious crimes, voice-stealing witches to time travel, and magical worlds to first performances of world-famous ballets, this is a collection of short stories that delights from start to finish.  Anthologies of short stories can sometimes fall flat, with one or two good ones and then a bunch of mediocre fillers, but this collection has no weak links...all the stories are good, and most of them are brilliant.  I felt entirely caught up in each individual world as I read, loving the varied and extremely likeable heroines throughout.
