Caracteristici

One tale for each EU member - a brilliant way to explore Europe's culture, geography and history

Notă biografică

Whilst her three children were growing up, Maggie Pearson held a variety of jobs - including bar maid, librarian and freelance journalist - but she now pursues a career as a highly-successful children's writer. Her first novel, Owl-Light, was shortlisted for the WH Smith Mind-boggling Book Award. She lives mostly in a sixteenth-century cottage in Suffolk with her husband, two cats and a goat, and sometimes in the French Pyrenees. She spent years compiling this extraordinary collection of folk tales as a labour of love. She has also written A Slip in Time and The Eyes of Doctor Dee for the Victorian Flashbacks series, and Is There Anybody There? for the Wired Up series.

Recenzii

A range of emotions - magical to farcical, tender to terrifying - something to appeal to everyone. A fascinating insight into Europe's varied cultures and traditions, and a wonderful read. Delightfully illustrated in paper-cut style by Francesca Greenwood.
each story is beautifully retold and will bring a whole host of new fairytales to modern readers.
An excellent collection of folk tales...retold in simple language and accesible to the good reader from age 10, but also complex enough to appeal to the young adult
