The 68 stories in this collection are gathered from the four corners of the earth and represent the timeless, respected traditions of fairy tales, folklore, legends, and myths. They include Aesop's fables, heroic epics like Beowulf and Gilgamesh, the story of the Greek hero Perseus, the tale of Aladdin, Bible stories, African folk tales, and Indian legends from the Americas. Brilliant full-color illustrations by Robert Ingpen accompany the carefully researched texts.
