13 all-new tales about the magic of childhood. In this exciting short story collection, toys come to life through the love and belief of the children who play with them. Thirteen authors take up the challenge of filling readers' fantastical toyboxes with intriguing playthings. A tiny Mr. Magoo yearns to escape the Old Things Roadshow and get home to the woman he'd been stolen from. A child slave in Rome dreams of owning a wooden gladiator. Could an act of magic fulfill his dream? Can a ghost who's found refuge in a what-not doll solve a case of unrequited love?… (meer)
The stories weren't that bad.. but they weren't particularly good. I would often forget where I'd left the book , and would pick up something else, because none of these stories were that compelling. I did finish the anthology, but by the end, I felt like there were some key concepts repeated over and over. I got really tired of a main character looking at a picture, or a doll, or a doll house, or something else, and suddenly finding themselves in that new setting, instead of the real world. Typically, I'll find a new author or two that I like, in an anthology, and I'll look them up to see what else they wrote. In this one.. there was no one who fit that description. ( )
Decided I'm just never, ever going to finish this book. Started it last summer and had fun taking it with me for entertainment before movies in the park, but none of the stories were spectacular and I just never picked it back up again after getting about halfway through. ( )
