A children’s librarian gathers fairy lore and elfin legends from many lands for telling aloud: red-capped little men with hidden gold, pixies who drop silver pennies in pails, fairy rings and visits to Elfland for a year and a day. Old favourites such as ‘Cinderella’ sit beside less familiar tales.

A rich, well-chosen anthology for parents and storytellers with Milo Winter’s illustrations. Download the free EPUB.
