Product Description
Review
Full of wonder, this is a stunning collection of enchanting folk stories with a timeless and universal appeal. Richard Monte captures the optimistic spirit of Poland in stories which delight on account of their magic and surprise (Lovereading )
Each story is very unique and entertaining in its only way. (Armadillo Magazine )
Ideal for reading aloud. (Armadillo Magazine )
Each tale amuses and enchants as problems are encountered, sorted and justice prevails. The black and white exude fun and humour. They warmly capture the human spirit as it deals with the bewitiching of strange creatures in far off times. Mesmerising to read aloud. Full of magic and surprise. (School Librarian )
What happens in folktales can be scary but people generally get their just desserts - which makes for a satisfying read. The author is fortunate in his illustrator who adds an extra dimension to the tales. (Carousel )

A lovely follow up to The Dragon of Krakow. Once again I have bought 2 copies - one for me and one for my grandchildren.
Aimed I think at the 7 to 11 age group for reading themselves but equally they can be read out to younger children.
Different stories from another country - Poland - mostly with a moral message.

I ordered this book as a gift for my goddaughter but it was damaged so will not be suitable. The packaging was perfect but the book looked as if someone had tried to tear it in half by the damage to the spine of the book,damaged cover & tears up to page 7. Can't find a link to Amazon to query this & don't have a printer currently to print a returns label so this book unfortunately has turned out to be a waste of money. I'm really surprised that someone has actually packed this, the condition it was in and sad as otherwise it would have been a lovely little book.
