Kate Forsyth's Long-Lost Fairy Tales

Long, long ago, storytellers all around the world told tales of wonder both to enchant and entertain us, and also to teach us that - if we are good and kind and courageous enough - we can change the world for the better.

For this is what fairy tales do. They give us hope.

As we travel through the dark and dangerous world of the fairy tale, as we fight dragons and outwit ogres and save our sisters and brothers, we learn that we are capable of anything. And then we return to our own world with all that we have learned along the way, stronger and braver than before.

The stories in this book come from all the corners of the world. Some were told in deep time before history was recorded, and some were written not so long ago. All of them have been unjustly forgotten.

In this collection of long-lost fairy tales, author Kate Forsyth and illustrator Lorena Carrington work together to bring tales of wisdom, compassion, and courage to life for the modern-day reader.

This enchantingly beautiful book will transform the way you think about fairy tales.
