This is a collection of 35 folk-tales from all over the world. You'll meet ghosts, spirits, robbers, princesses, sharks and tigers; wealthy sultans and hungry peasants, fair maidens and cackling witches, rainbow birds and laughing fish. The stories are romantic, funny, sad, exciting, miraculous and exotic. They vary in style and content, from the familiar, such as "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" and "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" to the surprising, such as "Onyeye and King Olu Dotun's Daughter".
