I am looking for a collection of children’s stories I read to my kids in the 1990s. I can only recall the title of two of the short stories inside this wonderful book. One was A Pair of Red Clogs by Masako Matsuno and the other was The Pudding like a Night on the Sea by Ann Cameron. I am sorry but that is all of the information I have. Any ideas?
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
Possible lead – I know ‘A Pudding Like a Night on the Sea’ from Kingfisher’s Treasury of Bedtime Stories (1993 edition), though the Masako Matsuno story isn’t familiar to me. I’m wondering if there might be another edition of the book and/or another Kingfisher compilation with a slightly different selection.
Try this: Collections for Young Scholars, Book One.

Oh my Gosh!!!! I think you solved it!! I have ordered the book so that I can see the inside. The cover looks familiar.. I really think this is it. I will let you know. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Great! Thanks for posting back.
Hi,
The book I ordered was not it. It did not have the stories in it. I think I ordered the wrong volume maybe. I ordered volume 2, book 1. Do you know which volume and book it is?
Hi there! I am just wondering if you have a volume and book number. The one I ordered was not correct.. volume 2 book 1
