Sign in or become a Readings Member to add this title to your wishlist.

A celebration of the idea that with courage and heart, anyone can become a hero. It is the unlikely heroes in stories that are sometimes the most inspiring of all. Stories about someone small, and seemingly unimportant or overlooked, who ends up being the one to stand tall. This collection of seven fairy tales, once much loved, now forgotten, breathes new life into old tales: a farm girl outwits an ogre, an old man wins fame for his kindness, while a girl discovers that what makes her different is also what makes her so special. This magical collection will bring inspiration to a new generation of readers and act as a reminder that anyone, no matter how small, can make a difference.Chapters in this book include:-East of the Sun, West of the Moon (based on a Norwegian fairy tale, first collected by Peter Christen Asbjornsen and Jorgen Moe)-The Enchanted Forest (based on an Estonian tale, collected by Andrew and Nora Lang and included in "The Violet Fairy Tale Book", as "A Tale of the Tontlawald")-Tatterhood (based on a Norwegian fairy tale collected by Peter Christen Asbjornsen and Jorgen Moe)-The Bag of Dreams (from a book called "The House with the Twisting Passage" by Marion St. John Webb, first published in 1922)-Eagleboy (adapted from "The Crimson Fairy Book", by Andrew and Nora Lang, first published in 1903)-Kate and the Ogre (based on "The Ogre Courting" by Juliana Ewing)-The Gifts of Walidad (based on a story originally from northwestern India and eastern Pakistan, retold in Andrew and Nora Lang's "The Brown Fairy Book", first published in 1904)
