“Wishes drive several of these tales, from a stonecutter to King Midas and his golden touch. Expect a dinner-table debate over what each of you would wish for.”
A moaning baobab, a stonecutter full of wishes and a flying witch.
Illustrated Stories from Around the World is a collection of ten folk tales gathered from across the globe, with colourful pictures throughout.
The tales include The Baobab Tree, The Stonecutter, Baba Yaga the Flying Witch, Dick Whittington, King Midas and the Golden Touch, Brer Rabbit Down the Well and Genie in the Bottle. Along the way, children meet a greedy witch, a talking tree and a genie with a terrible temper.
Why children love it
- The baobab whines "Make me taller" until even the gods despair.
- A mountain spirit who grants a stonecutter's wishes, one after another.
- A cover packed with scenes from the tales, from a Greek temple to a blue genie.
