This is a fairy tale collection for our times, with stories that take you through Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North and South America and the Pacific. From the Icelandic heroine who outwits a troll to the awe-inspiring fire goddess of Hawaii, from the Scottish faeries who steal babies to the stone giants of Argentina, there is a story to delight and inspire us all.
