Ten Small Tales: Stories from Around the World

With Ten Small Tales, Celia Barker Lottridge expands the range of stories available for the very young. Drawing inspiration from sources the world over, she has discovered new tales that contain all the magic of the old favorites — from a monkey who wants to dance on the village rooftops to an old lady who tricks a coyote. Based on years of telling and retelling these stories to children, Lottridge has crafted a collection destined to become the new nursery classic. Accompanied by the gentle watercolors of award-winning illustrator Joanne Fitzgerald, these tales are small gems, delivered with spirit and humor by one of Canada’s foremost storytellers.
