Everyone knows the story of Cinderella. In fact, many of us know a few different versions. But there are thousands of folk tales and hidden gems from every corner of the world that are timeless classics in their local communities that don’t have the same reach. Until now.
This beautiful treasury has stories to make you laugh, gasp, join in with and learn from. Each tale is written by an expert storyteller from around the world, including Sheila Arnold, Emmy Bidois, Masako Carey, Kate Corkery, Peter Chand, Tiernan Douieb, Amy Douglas, Warren Foster, Emily Hennessey, Rebecca Lemaire, Juliana Marin, Pamela Marre, Daniel Morden, Kim Normanton, Winston Nzinga, Baden Prince Junior, Gayle Ross, Simone Schümmelfeder, Wendy Shearer, Tuup and Wangari. It is illustrated by carefully chosen illustrators of different nationalities to perfectly match each story, including Terri Po, Sally Agar, Melissa Greenwood, Kaley McKean and Tinuke Fagborun.
Also includes sections about the culture and history of the stories, giving readers extra insight and an understanding of how these particular tales have stood the test of time.
