Synopsis

Collected Stories for Children was first published in 1947 and is a collection of the best seventeen short stories written by Walter de la Mare. The stories cover a range of subjects, but are all dreamy and poetic, captivating both adults and children. The book was awarded the Carnegie Medal in 1947, the first time a collection of stories had won this award. It was unexpected, as none of the stories were new, spanning the previous two decades, but the award acknowledged him in this way: "the achievement of the most gifted writer of the century who had dedicated his finest powers to delighting children". The stories contained in the collection are  Dick and the Beanstalk  The Dutch Cheese  A Penny a Day  The Scarecrow  The Three Sleeping Boys of Warwickshire  The Lovely Myfanwy  Lucy  Miss Jemima  The Magic Jacket  The Lord Fish  Mr. Bumps and his Monkey (also known as The Old Lion)  Broomsticks  Alice's Godmother  The Maria-Fly  Visitors  Sambo and the Snow Mountains  The Riddle
