Review
The stylish funny illustrations are by the highly acclaimed illustrator Paul Hess. Brimming with humour, magic and visual charm, Richard Monte's retellings are a delight for all ages. (www.bettybookmark.co.uk )
This is a charming retelling of these traditional folk stories...Well written and with lots of vivid description, they would also stimulate an older reader. (www.writeaway.org.uk )
An excellent book… Hess's stylish illustrations add humour and atmosphere in equal measure. (Books for Keeps )
Although modernised in their language and style of story-telling, the legends still hold the kind of quality that children always look for in fairy tales and folk stories. A perfect introduction to another country’s heritage. (School Librarian )
Interesting, well-written, imaginatively illustrated and designed book… there are rich rewards for those who enter the fascinating stories inside. (Ibby Link )
These seven short folk stories from around Poland are known to every Polish child, and the sparkling and accessible re-tellings will delight all children - start with the story of the Dragon of Krakow in which the threatening dragon is tricked by a shoemaker, and your class will call out for more. (Scholastic Best Books of 2008 )

Hi All,
I bourght this book to help me create some literacy work/international coverage for my year 4 class.
The stories are fantastic. They captured my classes imaginations.
The blurb has also been very useful in the Geography elements. It plots the cities where many of the stories come from. We used this for some map work.
The children and I have all enjoyed the international week, which was made all the more interesting through using this book.

I bought 2 copies of this book, first for myself to keep at home and another for my grandchildren for them to have at their house. It is really interesting - some stories I remember from my childhood (I am Polish) - nice to have them published now in English.
I think the stories are aimed at the 7 to 11 age group for reading themselves but I will reading them out to my younger grandchildren.
