This award-winning collection of traditional tales from around the world shows that things are not always as they seem.
A collection of traditional stories from one of Britain’s foremost oral storytellers written in a style which makes them a joy to read aloud. The seven stories are from different parts of the world and include The Pedlar of Swaffham from Hugh Lupton’s native East Anglia and tales from Haiti, France, West Africa, Russia, Ireland and the Cree people of North America.
The notes on sources indicate that there are variants of the stories in many cultures. These are stories which can be revisited many times and the book is enhanced by Niamh Sharkey’s distinctive angular illustrations which take a form which is both modern and strongly reminiscent of folk art.
