I read this over and over as a kid and still re-read it occasionally today. I just loved imagining having the kind of lives these girls do. I'm not sure I aspired to their life, I just liked reading about it.
I'm not a big fan of the poetry, and sometimes I was annoyed that the stories' preceding autobiographical anecdotes about how they were written would give away parts of the plot or otherwise change the way I would read the story. But Yolen writes lovely stories and is kind of my hero so I forgive her. I particularly love that she's friends with Bruce Coville, is a fan of Diana Wynne Jones, and mentioned both of these facts (as well as many other allusions to excellent authors and stories and origins of her stories) in her little intro thingies.
