A jar of jam and a swarm of flies start off this not-quite-normal adventure. A young tailor named Abraham Spoke swats seven of the flies with one smack of his belt. He's so impressed by his own bravery that he sews the words "SEVEN IN ONE STROKE" on his belt. As Abe travels the world, everyone who reads those words assumes the little guy is strong and powerful. Which can be dangerous when giants and clever kings challenge Abe to prove his might! This fractured retelling of a The Valiant Little Tailor, a lesser-known tale from the Brothers Grimm, will make readers giggle, groan and gasp with delight. Especially when they read about how Abe faces his biggest problem because he mumbles in his sleep!

The Valiant Little Tailor
A young tailor swats seven of the flies with one smack of his belt and is so impressed by his own bravery that he sews the words "SEVEN IN ONE STROKE" on his belt. However everyone who reads those words assumes they refer to giants not flies, which proves tricky when the king challenges the tailor to prove his might and rid the town of the pesky giants in return for half his kingdom and his daughter's hand in marriage. But the tailor is clever and manages to turn the giants on each other whilst claiming victory and the princess for himself.
