The collection includes English, Scottish, and Irish fairy tales. Two of them ('Lionel and the Magic Book' and 'A Thousand Faithful Copies') are original works written by the recognized classic of children's literature, Edith Nesbit. Red-haired Mary will help the prince outwit the evil giant and at the same time arrange her personal life. The clever boy Jamie will be able to deceive the cunning sorcerer Mr. Orrack. If you happen to be in the Aherlow valley, you can make friends with the wonderful people - the sidhe, and also with the kind little man, Tiny Cap. In the 'Magic Book', which was opened by the naughty and very curious King Lionel, there are not only beautiful butterflies, birds, and the noble hippogriff, but also the cruel and stupid Dragon, who will cause a lot of trouble in the kingdom. A tiny hedgehog will first save from death, and then rescue the beautiful princess from terrible trouble, and at the same time, he himself will turn into a handsome prince, and from there it's not far to a wedding. The fairy tales are retold with elegance and light irony by the connoisseur of English-language poetry and literature, Grigory Kruzhkov. Each fairy tale is accompanied by a playful verse with a cheerful microplot. Absolutely 'British' illustrations, created by the artist Irina Gavrilova, add a special charm to the book. Adults will read the book aloud to the little ones and enjoy it themselves. Older children will not be able to tear themselves away from the fairy tales until they have read them all, one after another. For children from 4 years old, for adults who appreciate good books, for reading in the family circle and for admiring the wonderful illustrations.
