this is a book that will entertain even the most reluctant reader.

Irish Examiner

This extraordinary and magical collection little-known folktales is beautifully illustrated in paper-cut style and perfect for dipping into on autumnal evenings and winter's nights.

Springboard Stories

Reading and writing folk tales is a valuable exercise for any young writer and this collection...is a masterclass in the genre...we are simply treated to classic plots economically and tantalisingly told.

Helen Mulley, Teach Primary

The language is simple so suitable for good readers of 10+, but the tales are complex enough to be enjoyed by young adults
