(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Ruth Sanderson. MacDonald's tale about Mossy and Tangle, who travel through Fairyland with a golden key, is here illustrated with Sanderson's precise and delicate scratchboard art. Adding power to the story, the palette of only black and white reinforces the sense that a serious vision underpins the magical quest the two protagonists pursue. An afterword by Jane Yolen and an illustrator's note add value.

(4) 4-6 Looking Glass Library series. Illustrated by Arthur Hughes. These sturdily bound editions include the full texts of children's literature classics with their original illustrations. Each title opens with an introduction by a contemporary children's writer; brief "About the Author" notes are appended. The compact trim size makes the font a little hard to read and the pictures a wee bit small. Otherwise, a decent selection. Review covers these Looking Glass Library titles: The Princess and the Goblin, The Book of Dragons, Five Children and It, and Twilight Land.
