365 Stories from Around the World

Folktales, fables and legends from many countries are arranged here as a year's worth of daily reading, one story at a time. The selection crosses continents, setting African trickster stories beside Asian legends, European fairy tales and tales from the Americas, which lets a child notice how often the same kind of story turns up in very different places. Each entry is short and self-contained, retold in plain language with illustrations spaced through the volume. Read in order it becomes a year-long tour, and read at random it is simply a deep well of stories. What the collection covers: • Stories drawn from storytelling traditions on several continents. • A dated entry for every day of the calendar year. • Retellings written in accessible language for young readers. • Illustration work spread across the collection. Suited to primary-age children, to classrooms teaching world cultures and to families reading together at night; published by OM Books and available from Boipoka.
