    This beautifully hardback anthology presents a thrilling collection of 31 myths and folk tales with inspiring heroines at their center, featuring breath-taking full-colour illustrations by artist Khoa Le.
This collection brings together folktales from different countries and cultures, showcasing narratives that celebrate strong, independent women. Heroines in these tales run free and possess the qualities we would hope for in our daughters and friends: self-confidence, strength, wits, courage, fearlessness, and independence. In reading these stories, young readers will become inspired to smash stereotypes, fight for what's right and unleash their own inner strength.
Tales include: * Freyja's Necklace (Norse) * Amaterasu and the Cave (Japanese) * Pandora and the Jar (Greek) * Pele Fights with her Sister (Hawaiian) * Leelinau the Lost Daughter (North American, Chippewa) * Isis Discovers the Name of Ra (Egyptian)
This beautiful hardback compendium features striking printed endpaper designs and gold cover embossing, creating a magnificent way to enjoy these empowering tales for readers aged 7+.
