Product Description
Drawing on the folklore and mythology of India and Nepal and inspired by author John Jackson’s travels in those countries, ’Tales for Great Grandchildren’ is an enchanting collection of 13 illustrated short stories aimed at children aged 7-12 years old.
John’s stories have been brought to life by critically acclaimed artist Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini who has created 27 original illustrations including 13 full colour works.
Bound in buckram, block printed and hand-bound, the original, limited edition hardback was produced using the same methods and attention to detail used to create the earliest illustrated gift books by Rackham and Dulac. The Kindle version of 'Tales for Great Grandchildren' builds on the success of the luxury hardback edition.
Readers can now enjoy this enchanting book on their Kindle and, for those with a colour Kindle, they will be able to experience Daniela's colour works in their original splendour.

Jamila Gavin
Winner of the Whitbread Prize
“It’s rare to come across a children’s book with the production values of a bygone era but this is such a one... The stories themselves are told with a light touch and a fine sprinkle of wit.”
Lucy Coats
Bestselling children’s author of the ‘Coll the Storyteller’ and Greek Beasts and Heroes series
“This is an interesting collection of unfamiliar stories from the East, new and fresh and wonderful to find. This is not just a children’s book. I think everyone should have a copy.”
