Review of 'Skin' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This is a high quality collection of shorts, not aimed specifically at children. The stand-out entry is Lamb to the Slaughter, which is a wicked delight. I was surprised to find a precursor to the kids' novel Danny, Champion of the World here. That was the only one I was exposed to as a child. Should I take them up, now?
