A wonderful treasury of stories both old and new. There are stories for all tastes: fantasy, adventure, humour, magic, fairy tales and of course animal stories. Some stories are complete, others are extracts. Most are lavishly re-illustrated in fullcolour, in many cases by the artist traditionally associated with them, making this a very special book.
