Fairy tales for young and old

A nice boy and a group of dwarfs help the sun find its missing son. Little forest dwellers band together to rescue fairies being tormented by envious witches. A ridiculed boy becomes a football star thanks to his enchanted shoes. An evil ruler is taught a lesson by a basket of magic cherries. And a minstrel halts an army with his music. These fairy tales for young and old are as meaningful as they are versatile. Classic fairy tale elements are present along with fresh interpretations. Each of these many stories contains a clear moral message so typical of the genre. As with the well-known Grimm fairy tales, many of these stories contain a nugget of wisdom that readers both big and small can take with them in life.
