Publisher's Synopsis
A lively collection of nineteen five-minute stories - a mix of old and new, from Perrault's LITTLE RED RIDING-HOOD and the traditional tale of THE GINGERBREAD MAN, to Margaret Mahy's HORRENDOUS HULLABALOO and Dick King-Smith's BLESSU. There are stories about animals, magic and mermaids - and much more too in this very special book, illustrated in full colour throughout by Steven Cox.
