Excellent selection, accessible format

The books came (from India) in a timely manner and undamaged. All the volumes were there. The selection of readings is wonderfully varied, from Western classics to Eastern dynastic poetry. The selected excerpts are well chosen not only to represent the author but also as worthy readings in their own right. Penguin translations are always first-rate, and these volumes are no exception. If you are looking for an introduction to basic literacy, this is a good start.

Broken box, slight wear on books, still worth price

I ordered this on April 26th, and got it May 4th which is pretty fast considering all that is going on. I think in shipping it though the box must have been dropped because mine is broken open. I didn't really care because I planned to out them on a shelf anyway so I was kind of hoping for it to be broken so I wouldn't feel bad for not using such a beautiful box. I am taking off one star for that because when you order an item, especially a boxed set, you would hope that the entirety of it is in good condition. The books themselves came with a little bit of wear at the edges which again is not the best, but I prefer my books worn in to begin with because I scribble all over them as I read. If anyone is wondering, all 80 of them will fit into one of those one cube of the cube shelving units you find at Target.I am happy to report no repeats! This is a great little set. Happy to get 80 small books for under $60.

Great product

This is an excellent addition to my library. I see others said that their kids loved these books. I am not too sure about that. Sure they are great books. But have an adult theme. For instance the first book "Mrs Rosie and the Priest" is a nice story but unless you want Junior developing a more advanced vocabulary in which "cuckold, pimps, prostitutes" feature prominently I would suggest vetting a little bit.No complaints.By the way, as a response to other buyers who complained about their packages being all dinged up, the seller sent mine wrapped tighter than a mummy's knickers (see? vocabulary), and the soft fluff inside flew all over my yard and now it looks like dadgum Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in February (I am in Nairobi in September)Ta, and all that

AMAZING FOR THE MONEY

I got this on sale but I am surprised they even let it go on sale! These stories are short but they aren’t 3 pages childrens books like I was expecting, they have about 50 pages on average each book and the text is pact in and small so you get the most of your little books which I can really appreciate! I try to read one every other night atleast, they are still short stories you can get done with in about an hour or two (depending on how fast you read)
