Nursery stories are an essential part of childhood. Experienced storyteller Mary Hoffman has retold over forty classic tales in this superb collection which is perfect for reading aloud. Children will soon start joining in as the giant shouts, ``Fee-fi-fo-fum`` and the wolf huffs and puffs and blows the little pigs` house down!

All of these tales have stood the test of time because generation after generation of children loved them. Many are very funny, some are pure nonsense. There are moral tales, love stories, wit, cunning, giantkilling and plenty of drama.

Beautifully illustrated by Anna Currey, the stories sparkle for a new generation of children.
