A Book of Magic Adventures - Paperback

by Ruth Manning-Sanders (Author), Robin Jacques (Illustrator)

In this collection of unusual fairy tales, the author invites the reader to travel far and wide-through magic adventures spanning several countries and crossing oceans to the remotest corners of the world-even to Hell and the domains of the Sun, Moon, and Wind. Against such backdrops are set tales of courage, bravery, and love. A farmer confronts a dragon with only a magic feather to help him. A fiddler, by his daring, delivers a repentant landowner from eternal torture by dancing devils. There are tales of bewitched princes and princesses, of ogreish trolls who must be slain, tales peopled by a host of goblins, dwarves, mannikins, wizards, witches, and magic animals of every kind.
