How slow is an ogre? How do you get rid of a dragon (if its on your roof)? Would you go off with a fly-by-night? And who was the funniest dog in the world? These are a few of the important questions that are answered in this book. Terry Joness fairy tales will take you to strange lands and fabulous kingdoms where youll find mystery and magic, sadness and silliness, and more adventures than youll know what to do with. In this special edition of the award-winning stories, master storyteller Terry Jones blends fantasy, morality and humour to produce an irresistible collection of tales that children will want to read again and again. The surreal lands and eccentric characters are superbly illustrated by Michael Foreman in his signature watercolours, which perfectly capture the energy and wit of every story.
