Fairy tales carry the oldest storytelling patterns children meet: a journey, a test, a transformation.
This 96-page hardcover presents a selection of traditional fairy tales in retellings written for young readers, with illustration work running alongside the text throughout. The shorter length of each tale makes the book easy to dip into rather than commit to, and the familiar shapes of these stories give a child a scaffold for guessing what happens next, which is genuinely useful while reading confidence is still forming. It serves equally well as a gift and as an everyday reader kept within reach.
What comes with this edition:
• Traditional tales retold in accessible present-day English
• Full-colour illustration across all 96 pages
• Story lengths matched to short reading sessions
• Presentation-quality hardcover that gives well
Aimed at primary-age readers and at adults choosing a first story collection, published by Miles Kelly Publishing Ltd and available at Boipoka.
