The stories of Milly-Molly-Mandy and her family and friends have charmed generations of children since they first appeared in 1925. This collection of twenty-one classic tales about this resourceful and thoughtful little girl reflect with accuracy the dilemmas and challenges of a child's world.

These timeless stories are perfect for reading aloud, for older children to read by themselves, or as a story before bedtime, and will bring back many happy memories for many parents and grandparents. The book's endpaper feature a two-page map of Milly-Molly-Mandy's village complete with drawings of cottages, fields, streets, and shops making it easy for children to follow Milly-Molly-Mandy from place to place.

Summary: I grew up with this book!
Comment: I loved this book when I was little. I don't remember how old I was or where I first saw it, but I remember checking it out of a library several times. I knew it wasn't a new story, with the tattered cover and discolored pages, but I loved that there were never any problems in it and that the little girl lived so differently than I did, in a time before mine. I was looking for another childhood favorite and was thrilled to find this one! I remembered the story almost perfectly when I looked back in the excerpts. I can't wait for my own 3 year old to read it...

Summary: Must buy!
Comment: Don't rule this out for your older children...I just bought it for my just-turned-8yo dd after starting a library copy of it and all of us (including 10yo brother) being enchanted (he actually suggested buying it...said it was a "classic"!)! It reminds you of simpler times... the wholesome joys of childhood. It probably is best for 8 and under but we found it absolutely charming!

Summary: Bridging the generation gap
Comment: This book was the first I was able to read myself, at age 4. It had been my mother's book as a child, and I still have her copy. I was amazed to see that it is still being printed and is still so popular. Somehow I thought it was unknown to most people (my little secret!) My own granddaughter is now old enough to read about Milly-Molly-Mandy, so I will purchase the new edition for her. She looks just like Milly-Molly-Mandy! Also, it is fascinating to learn that the stories take place in Holland, not England. My sisters and I still use the phrase "little-friend-Susan" to describe the perfect friendship!

Summary: Memories of a childhood
Comment: I was amazed when i came across this title in my search. I got both the Milly Molly Mandy books as a gift when I was little. I had to wait to read them as i couldnt read very well when i received them. The became my favourite books and I still have them packed away somewhere to this day, dog-earred and with torn covers. I never tired of reading the same stories over and over again, wishing that I could have adventures like Milly Molly Mandy.

Summary: All kids should read this one!
Comment: What a sweet book! I'm 23 and always pre-read any books that i intend to give as gifts to the various kids i know. Usually i find that they eventually turn into scary stuff which isn't too good for the younger ones. When i read this story book i went out and got six copies, one for each of the young children i baby-sit, age ranging 3 to 9, even the 9 year old loved it. There is no violence, no bad language and is a wonderful way of showing young children how people lived in days gone by without taking on a lecturing tone. You know what, even the two young boys liked it!:-)
