Description:

Step into Fairyland, where the spell-casters are powerful, the conjurers are clever, and almost nothing goes quite to plan. This bumper collection gathers a sparkling assortment of magical short stories from one of the best-loved storytellers of all time. Witches are ready to enchant at the merest tip of a pointy hat, mischievous imps go hunting for spells to stir up trouble, and grand enchanters discover that magic has a habit of misbehaving — often with very funny results. Each tale stands entirely on its own and runs just the right length for a bedtime read or a quiet classroom story, so children can dip in wherever they like and finish a complete adventure in minutes. Warm, whimsical, and gently exciting, these traditional stories are wonderful for younger children being read to and for newly confident readers ready to explore the magic on their own.
