Journey through a global treasury of timeless mythology with this stunning hardcover anthology. Retold by Barbara Hayes, this enchanting collection gathers more than sixty traditional folk tales, fables, and legends from Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Australasia, and the Americas — many drawn from obscure oral traditions never before published outside their home countries.

What elevates this book into a true masterpiece is the visual artistry of Robert Ingpen — one of the world’s most acclaimed illustrators and the first Australian to win the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Medal. His atmospheric, full-colour paintings bring these ancestral stories to life, from Baba Yaga and the Peach-Boy to the indigenous Australasian legend of the Rainbow Serpent. A spectacular heirloom book for readers of all ages.
this is a must have for any collection!
