Now Jane Yolen, America's own Hans Christian Andersen, according to Newsweek, works her storytelling magic in these bedtime classics. With gentle humor and charm, Ms. Yolen breathes new life into sixteen old favorites from such diverse sources as the Brothers Grimm, Aesop, the Ashanti and Pueblo peoples, and the countries of Russia, India, and France. As did generations before, children will delight in "The Three Little Pigs," "The Snow Child," "The Monkey and the Crocodile," "Stone Soup," "The Princess and the Pea," and many others. Ruth Tietjen Councell's sparkling illustrations add just the right touch of enchantment and wit. Here's a superb bedtime-story treasury that will be opened and enjoyed again and again.
