In this spellbinding collection, master storyteller Ruth Manning-Sanders takes readers on a breathtaking journey across oceans and continents - to the fiery depths of Hell, the shimmering domains of the Sun, Moon, and Wind, and the remotest corners of the world where magic still lives and breathes.

A humble farmer faces a fearsome dragon armed with nothing but a single magic feather. A bold fiddler dares to descend among dancing devils to save a soul from eternal torment. Bewitched princes and princesses await rescue. Cunning witches scheme in shadowy corners. Mischievous goblins, fearsome trolls, wise dwarves, and magical animals of every kind leap from every page.

Drawn from folk and fairy tale traditions spanning dozens of countries, these are not the stories you already know. Manning-Sanders spent a lifetime seeking out rare, unusual, and little-known tales from cultures around the globe - and retelling them with the wit, warmth, and effortless grace that made her one of the most celebrated folklorists of the twentieth century.

Beautifully illustrated by Robin Jacques, whose atmospheric pen-and-ink drawings bring each tale vividly to life, this is a book to treasure and return to again and again.

Perfect for: ◆ Children discovering the wonder of fairy tales for the first time ◆ Parents and grandparents looking for magical read-aloud stories ◆ Adult fairy tale enthusiasts and folklore collectors ◆ Fans of Ruth Manning-Sanders' beloved "A Book of…" series

First published in 1983, A Book of Magic Adventures is one of the final volumes in Manning-Sanders' extraordinary folklore library - a testament to the enduring power of storytelling at its finest.
