Ten tales that sweep ancient Europe, from Iceland to England and from Greece to Denmark, giving a taste of the myth and folk-tale of them all. This book is bursting with fantastic retellings of old favourites such as 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' and 'Arthur the King'. It is alive with grippingly told, unfamiliar stories such as 'Godfather Death' and 'The Lady of Stavoren'.
There's a tale in here to thrill, delight or chill every reader.
