My favourite story from this collection is the one where the months of the year are telling stories to one another. There was just something so other worldy about it that it just captivated me. I loved the way it wasn't entirely clear cut at the end and there was some thought to be had about the ending itself. The problem with Susan was another good one, mainly because I have always loved the Narnia series and I think Neil's short story was a fitting addition to the tale.
There were a few poems in this collection and while I did read through them, I don't think I fully appreciated them as poetry isn't really my thing. But they did serve as a nice little break between longer pieces. I would recommend this book if you prefer reading in short bursts as you can take the time to put the book down and digest whatever hellish concept you've just finished reading.
