Wendy Cope's selection includes something for every taste, drawing from classic tradition as well as from contemporary work. There are funny stories about disastrous dogs and oblong pancakes; haunting folk tales from Africa and Japan; retellings of well-lovedfavourites including 'The Emperor's New Clothes' and 'Beauty and the Beast'; fairytales about kings and castles and stories about ordinary boys and girls set in the present day. Friendly artwork reinforces the meaning of the text and brings the characters alive as the stories unfold.
