About This Book

A collection of illustrated retellings of classic folk and fairy tales for children, offering short, self-contained narratives that pair lively plots with moral lessons. Stories include one where a generous but simple youth wins a magical golden-feathered bird whose presence causes a comic chain of people to become stuck together and ultimately provokes a princess's laughter, plus retellings of a household visited by bears, three pigs confronting a wolf, and the exploits of a tiny boy. Color and black-and-white drawings punctuate each tale.
