Some of the oldest and most enduring stories in the world, retold by a leading contemporary children’s author to bring out all of the action, drama, humour and depth of the originals in a way that makes them as exciting and meaningful today as ever. All of the stories are fully illustrated with stunning, vibrant images. They are carefully levelled, making them accessible to the average 7-11 year old reader.
