Summary:
The definitive collection of British and Irish
folktales
from master storyteller and poet Kevin Crossley-Holland. Rich and strange, these eerie and magical
folktales
from across
Britain
and
Ireland
have been passed down from generation to generation, and are gathered together in a definitive new collection from the master storyteller and winner of the Carnegie Medal, Kevin Crossley-Holland. Dark and funny, lyrical and earthy, these fifty stories are part of an important and enduring historical tradition that dates back hundreds of years. Described by Neil Gaiman as the "master", Crossley-Holland's unforgettable retellings will capture the imagination of readers young and old alike.
