«Short Too!» is a children's storybook by Kevin Crossley-Holland, published by Oxford University Press in paperback (96 pages, in English).
The book collects very short stories in which ancient and modern tales coexist, some scary and some funny, but all with a thought-provoking edge. Among them are a terrible plague in the village of Tarvaa, a bag full of butterflies, ghosts from beyond, and the short life of Barbara, the lamb who died frozen.
Second volume of the «Short!» series, subtitled «A second book of very short stories». Published in 2011.
A collection aimed at readers aged 9 to 12, especially those seeking brief tales with humor, tradition and a slightly unsettling touch.
Kevin John William Crossley-Holland is an English translator, children's author and poet. His best known work is probably the Arthur trilogy (2000–2003), for which he won the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize and other recognition.
