'Harold Bloom afirma en la introduccion a esta encantadora -- y necesaria - - antologia de relatos y poemas excepcionales, escogidos para incitr a una larga vida de lecturas, que si deseamos llegar a Shakespeare y a Chejov, a Henry James y a Jane Austen, estaremos much mejor preparados si hemos leido antes a Lewis Carroll y a Edward Lear, a Robert Louis Stevenson y a Rudyard Kipling. Frente a Internet, la television y los videojuegos, que amenazan con alejar a los jovenes de los solitarios placeres de la lectura, Bloom presenta un libro que divierte, desafia y seduce a los lectores con su miriada de voces y de temas.' -- Editorial Anagrama.
