A new-born baby is carefully checked over at a hospital in Jaipur, a small girl grins from a bench on Rome's Piazza Navona, and energetic boys jostle in front of the camera in Havana. Over his long career and on his many travels, Steve McCurry has taken an incredible selection of photographs of children, each one managing to hint at an epic story.

Stories and Dreams brings a unique selection of these images together for the first time. With an introduction from Ziauddin Yousafzai, father of Malala, this is a colourful portrayal of the challenges, hopes, and adventures of children from across the world.
