Beautiful read that brings nostalgia
Recently I got my hands on '50 Greatest Stories for Older Children,' and I just want to say that this book is a treasure chest of timeless stories that will not only cater to older children but also people of all ages.From William Shakespeare to Rabindranath Tagore, this book is a compilation of stories from renowned authors belonging to different eras and backgrounds, making this a perfect and diverse read.This carefully curated collection of stories had some tales that I read when I was young, and it was nostalgic to go back to them and relive the good old days of childhood. 'Alibaba and the Forty Robbers' is one such tale that is close to me because I am someone who spent countless hours reading Arabian Nights during school summer breaks.Happy Prince, The Bet, Idgah, Great Expectations, etc., are some of the tales from this book that I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend everyone to give a read. At last, all the tales from this book truly stay with you and remind you of the time when stories used to be a reflection of society and would give you a life lesson by the end of it. '50 Greatest Stories for Older Children' is something I would cherish forever and will always revisit to remind myself of childhood and good old days!

Perfect for teenagers!
These delightful editions is sure to make adults (like me) have again a taste of chidhood.I mean, see, not always do we need nail-biting reads or deeply thoughtful stories. Sometimes we need comfort reads, reads which can make us happy without us giving much effort. Like having ice-cream, where you can just scoop it and plop it in your mouth without much speculation.These two books published by Hachette India makes its place as a collection of stories that every reader (occasional or avid) will love to keep close.Don't you see why children fiction has been tested upon by prolific short story writers of all time? Be it Chekov, Tagore, Maugham, RK Narayan, Lewis Caroll, Jules Verne, O Henry and many more---they've all given us books that feel like a fluffy blanket on a rainy evening.In '100 stories for young children' we see a major inclusion of folktales and fables, from the epics like Ramayana, even from Jataka Tales, Kathasaritsagara, Panchatantra. These are accompanied by stories written by Enid Blyton, RK Narayan, Sukhmar Ray-- just to name a few. I could understand the efficiency and the intelligence behind the selection of these stories. Young minds cannot help but be ignited by such characters and lessons, and their imagination will get a new boost.'50 stories for older children' is directed more towards teenage, and here you will find many stories which are included in school syllabuses. In here, the stories speak of a wide cast of topics and varieties, they focus on unconventional turn of events and talk about characters which leave an impact. For an avid reader, these are classic stories for young readers. These stories have made history, and have influenced countless minds.
