  • Description
  • Details

Fairy tales are as old as language itself.In the beginning, such tales of wonder were told by a storyteller to an audience, in the darkness of a long winter to while away the hours, in a marketplace to amuse and beguile the passers-by, to young men and women about to set forth on their life’s journey, to teach and warn and to give them the tools they needed to survive.The motifs and metaphors of these stories created a universal language that all humans share. For each culture has its own myths, folklore and fairy tales, and many of them are strikingly similar despite the vast distances that separate those that told the tale. In this collection of 21 long-forgotten fairy tales, author Kate Forsyth and illustrator Lorena Carrington work together to bring tales of wisdom, compassion and courage to life for the modern-day reader.This enchantingly beautiful collection of stories will transform the way you think about fairy tales.
