It is the unlikely heroes in stories that are sometimes the most inspiring of all. Stories about someone small, and seemingly unimportant or overlooked, who ends up being the one to stand tall. This collection of seven fairy tales, once much loved, now forgotten, breathes new life into old tales: a farm girl outwits an ogre, an old man wins fame for his kindness, while a girl discovers that what makes her different is also what makes her so special. This magical collection will bring inspiration to a new generation of readers and act as a reminder that anyone, no matter how small, can make a difference.

This heartwarming collection of fairy tales celebrates the power of hope, and gently encourages questions about what happiness really means. Meet a brave princess who brings happiness to her kingdom by forging her own path, two children on a quest to discover the meaning of happiness, and a magician's daughter who discovers the power of positivity. Beautifully illustrated throughout, these seven stories have been re-imagined to inspire a new generation of readers.

These seven beautifully-illustrated fairy tales show how love makes a family, and explore the true meaning of friendship. From the freedom that comes with a family's acceptance in 'Land and Sea', to the power of friendship in 'The Beekeeper and the Hare' and the bonds of sisterly love in 'Goblin Market'. This collection brings to life some of the most important parts of childhood with tenderness, beauty and a timeless magic.
