In this companion to Morpurgo's Greatest Animal Stories, the popular English author selects twelve classic "magical" stories, mostly tried-and-true folktales and all European except for the Japanese "Yoshi the Stonecutter." With many different retellers and illustrators, beginning comments from Morpurgo before each story, and a handsome open format, this collection is good for both storytime or individual reading.
