About the Author:
"Like all Harrison and Stuart-Clark's fine Oxford anthologies, this global collection of 23 traditional tales is a feast for storytelling and reading aloud. The informal voices, whether laconic, lyrical, or dramatic, draw you in from the very first line... The design of the large volume is open and inviting, with thick paper and handsome color paintings by several artists."--Booklist
"[A] globe-trotting anthology... Each story is a rib-sticking and welcome alternative to 'The Three Little Pigs,' 'Goldilocks,' et al."--Hungry Mind Review
"[The stories] have been revised as well as retold, and all are short and sprighty, good to read aloud and easy enough to read alone... The pictures [are] attractively arranged in many sizes and shapes throughout the text."--School Library Journal
"This beautifully illustrated anthology of 23 tales from around the world is a treasure for the home, classroom, and library."--Yellow Brick Road
"Retold simply with a cleverness of phrasing... This extensive and attractively presented collection is a good book for multiethnic collections and a wonderful read-aloud for story hours."--MultiCultural Review
