Fairy Tales and Fantastic Stories

Would you like to sail to the moon with a daring princess? Or swim around the world with a clever fish until you've seen all there is to see? Terry Jones' Fairy Tales will sweep you away to exotic lands and fabulous kingdoms where you'll find mystery and magic, sorrow and silliness. Turn the pages to Fantastic Stories, and you'll meet the Slow Ogre, who eats gentlemen's socks, and King Herbert XII, who dresses like a parsnip and sits in a fountain shouting "Radishes!" And that's just the beginning. In this two-in-one edition, master storyteller Terry Jones blends fantasy, morality, and humor to irresistible effect, while Michael Foreman's shimmering watercolors intensify the energy and wit of every tale. To read these amazing stories is to enter a world where absolutely anything can happen...and usually does.
