Description

Translated and transcribed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these tales celebrate the diversity of-and surprising resonances among-folklore traditions around the world.

Welcome to a world of magical adventure:a mysterious wolf pursues a bridegroom through a dark forest, a princess is trapped in a monster's body, and a dragon is coming with a storm in its wake.

• The tales come alive alongside spellbinding contemporary art by Chinese illustrator Sija Hong.
• Each story transports readers to a different enthralling world.

Compare to Nordic tales, I like it a little less, but it's just favoritism on my part. The tales are interesting and diverse from around the world.

Une future lecture !
Ce livre fait partie d'une collection que je regroupe depuis quelques années. J'adore le contenu et les illustrations colorés. Ce livre intéressera quiconque qui a un intérêt pour les histoires de monstres et de créatures mythologiques. Aussi, j'ai encore eu un excellent service rapide et sans accroc !
