'Around The World And Back Again' is a success! It is a collection of stories that everyone can draw from. Mr. Mangini is a conjuror of a wide variety of images & emotions. Everyone is guaranteed to have a favorite story. It is a book that is easy reading, but can be revisited time and again. It's a nice collection that comes full circle, just as the title suggests.
