Fourteen beautifully illustrated fairy tales, retold in a simple, lyrical style.

From the Brothers Grimm to Hans Christian Andersen, this illustrated collection contains a wide range of classic fairy tale stories we know and love.

As well as favourites such as Cinderella, The Snow Queen, and Jack and the Beanstalk, A First Book of Fairy Tales also includes some lesser-known gems, such as The Fisherman and His Wife and Diamonds and Toads.

Written by award-winning, bestselling children's writer Mary Hoffman, these poetic retellings are given a new life and are perfect for reading alone or aloud. They're presented alongside wonderful, world-building illustrations, providing full immersion into the world of myths and legends.
