A new edition of this beautifully illustrated treasury of more than a dozen magical folk tales from around the world

Escape to a faraway mystical world where anything can happen: where a boy can find a belt that gives him amazing strength, where a frog can be a princess in disguise, and where princes can fly on magic carpets. There are stories from all around the globe in this glorious celebration of the world's lesser-known folk tales. Retold in wonderful detail by long-time Quentin Blake collaborator John Yeoman, these stories sparkle with enchantment, adventure, mystery, and beautifully imagined exciting locations.
