Synopsis
The Bloomsbury Children's Classics The Brave Sister, retold by Fiona Waters, illustrated by Danuta Mayer The Selfish Giant, retold by Fiona Waters, illustrated by Fabian Negrin The Emperor and the Nightingale, retold by Fiona Waters, illustrated by Paul Birkbeck Bisky Bats and Pussy Cats, animal nonsense poems by Edward Lear, illustrated by Matilda Harrison. It seemed as if the princes and princess would never know of their noble birth as they lived their lives quietly in their beautiful home, far away from the bustle and intrigue of the court. But the fates intervened. An Arabian Nights story of full of magic and mystique, jealousy, bravery and love. Urged by a travelling pilgrim, two brothers set out to find a talking bird, a singing tree and a never-ending fountain. When their sister learns that they have failed and are in danger, she sets out dressed as a man, conquers the mountain of black stone, rescues her brothers and obtains the bird, the tree, and the fountain. Elaborately illustrated with intricate detail, the rich colours bring to life the lyrical language of this intriguing tale with a happy twist to its conclusion.

From the Publisher
"Once upon a time when magic still worked, Persia was ruled by a sultan who was a good and wise man, much loved by his people..." And so begins a magical, spellbinding tale, full of dervishes, talking birds, eternal fountains, and a brave and spirited sister. A story from the "Arabian Nights, The Brave Sister" is retold with grace and humor by Fiona Waters and enhanced by the exquisite illustrations of Danuta Mayer.
