 <\/p>\n

\"\"A beautiful new collection of eight nursery tales - traditional stories for younger children, including all the favourite classics, delightfully retold and enchantingly illustrated by James Mayhew, internationally bestselling author and illustrator of\u00a0Once Upon a Tune,\u00a0A Symphony of Stories<\/span>, the\u00a0Mrs Noah<\/span>\u00a0series and many other much-loved picture books.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The stories included are: Goldilocks and the Three Bears (England), Little Red Riding Hood (Germany), The Billy Goats Gruff (Norway), The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf (England), The Enormous Turnip (Ukraine), The Tortoise and the Hare (Ancient Greece), The Gingerbread Man (North America), The Vain Little Mouse (Spain)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Using the same technique of colourful cut-outs and collage as in his best selling Once Upon a Tune: Stories from the Orchestra<\/span>,\u00a0James Mayhew has created another spectacular gift book, this time for a very young audience.<\/p>\n

I love this book for its ability to engage with children and adults, so the book and the story can be read with the illustrations telling the story too, perfect!<\/p>\n
