Will the stag escape the hunters? Did the lion eat the mouse? And why exactly did the fox invite the stork round to share a meal?
Find your own answers to these questions as you engage with the stories retold here by Leon Conrad in the rich oral storytelling tradition. The layout
of this book is specially designed to encourage reading aloud.
The fables are perfectly complemented by Alessandro Scafi’s charming illustrations.
So awaken your mind and lend me an ear –
Come, free your senses. I’ll take you to where
Theres a magical place, filled with creatures with flair –
A country of wolf, sheep, of crow, stork and bear,
Of talking trees, rabbits, the fox in his lair …
The power of these stories will take us right there.

My thoughts
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks to the author and literallyPR for a copy of this book in return for my own honest review. This wouldn’t really be a book I would normally pick up but I enjoyed these fables that have been set out like poems. I don’t think I could pick a favourite.
