About This Book

An illustrated anthology of traditional tales gathered from multiple European and Asian traditions, presenting retellings of folk narratives such as a winter maiden of Russian lore, English and Flemish wonder-tales, Italian and French romances, Balkan and East Asian myths. Each entry condenses a single folktale into narrative prose and is accompanied by ornate color plates and decorative illustrations, alternating moral and marvel: transformations, quests, enchanted animals, tests of character, and encounters with otherworldly beings, arranged as standalone short stories for young readers.
