Biographical note
Lari Don is a children’s author and storyteller, who was born in Chile, brought up in the North East of Scotland and now lives in Edinburgh with her two daughters. She has previously worked in politics and broadcasting, but says retelling myths and writing adventures for kids is the best job in the world.This is a book that will entertain even the most reluctant reader. Irish Examiner This extraordinary and magical collection of little-known folk tales is beautifully illustrated in paper-cut style and perfect for dipping into on autumnal evenings and winter's nights. Springboard Stories Reading and writing folk tales is a valuable exercise for any young writer and this collection...is a masterclass in the genre...we are simply treated to classic plots economically and tantalisingly told. -- Helen Mulley Teach Primary
A brilliant collection of folk tales: from the girl whose stepmother turned her into a dragon, to the werewolf's bride, and the god who became a fish but was caught in his own net...Stories from the Americas, Asia, Scandinavia and Europe make this a wonderfully inclusive anthology, stunningly illustrated in papercut style.
