Fourteen tales from around the world, including "The Snow Child" from Russia, "Raven Boy" from Canada, and "A Song for Hinemoa" from New Zealand, are retold here with lively, engaging language. A few are familiar ("The Pied Piper" and "Stone Soup"), but all are intriguing, whether they are humorous, rowdy, threatening, or sly. Like the text, the borders and paintings are vibrant, and their style changes to reflect the different cultures.
