Default Books of Short Stories

Hi All,
I have been doing a bit of supply recently, mostly in KS2 and wondered if anyone could suggest some books of short stories I can use particularly with more able Yr 5 and 6. I have had a browse on Amazon but alot of them are quite expensive and I don't want to pay out without knowing that they are good. Any help appreciated. Ninnin

I will have a think. Does anyone else remember where they are? I am pretty sure Nutty will have some to suggest off the top of her head though

Short! by Kevin Crossley-Holland is what I use most... and there's one used at school a lot by Michael Morpurgo, can't remember the name, but anything by him's a winner really!

Fairy Tales by Terry Jones (yes, of Monty Python fame), is awesome. The stories are short and thought provoking, and work from Yr 2 right up to Yr 6
