 Zena Henderson is most well known for her stories about the people the witch mountain movies are based on these works But I much prefer her unrelated short stories. I think they're better written and much more memorable I'm promoting two books here anything box and holding wonder her stories are almost exclusively told from the point of view of children or From their teachers. They're safe for reading by all ages, but they tend to be very dark. They tend to focus on Ostracism fear of being different fear of not having control and of course fear of death These are things that children think about all the time This is something that we adults would do well to remember do yourself a favor and read Zena Henderson short stories
