![]() ![]() The cabinet of the title is conceived as a flying house, with the stories contained in various themed rooms, including travel, love, luck, song, fairy tales, tricks, cake, and flowers. The stories mostly feature children, some innocent and some decidedly not, some contemporary and some from those timeless, quasi-medieval villages that feature prominently in wonder tales. The four authors style themselves as curators, collectors of strange objects and the stories behind them, and hint at the dangers they have encountered to procure their tales from this and other realms. For readers who have gloried in and graduated from Alvin Schwartz’s collections of scary stories, the tales collected here will provide a deliciously tingly next step. ![]()
