"This was one of the first books I owned as a child. It is full of interesting, easy to read, amazing stories about ghosts and lost treasures and strange events ("The Painting In The Cavern", "The Balls of Clay" and "The Whistle" are particular favorites). It also teaches you about the world and different places and different times. I bought it from the bookmobile in, probably, 1976 or so. It was one of the most influential books on my young life. It is what lead me to reading a cranky and forgotten writer from the 1930's like Charles Fort in 4th Grade. I just recently found a replacement copy for my long lost original (same cover, even, although not the one pictured here).
STRANGELY ENOUGH! broadened my horizons, filled the world with wonder, and frightened and awed me at the same time. I think it may be one of the greatest books to give a child who is just discovering the joy of reading. I am dead serious!"
"My #1 favorite book of all time. This is the first book I ever read from adult libraries......classically mild in scariness mysteries and told with a mellowly-grim satyrical twist. A keeper!"
