The collection includes English, Scottish and Irish fairy tales. Two of them ("Lionel and the Magic Book" and "A Thousand Faithful Spears") are author's tales: they were written by the recognized classic of children's literature Edith Nesbit. Red-haired Mary will help the king to outwit the evil giant and at the same time will arrange his personal life. The clever boy Jamie manages to deceive the cunning sorcerer Mr. Orrak. If you happen to be in the valley Aherlow, you can make friends with a wonderful people - Sids, and also with a kind little man Little Cap. In the "Magic Book", opened by the naughty and very curious King Lionel, there are not only beautiful butterflies, birds and a noble hippogriff, but also a cruel and foolish Dragon, who will cause a lot of trouble in the kingdom. The tiny hedgehog first saves from death and then rescues the beautiful princess from the terrible trouble, and at the same time turns into a stately queen, and there and the wedding is not far away. The tales are retold with elegance and light irony by Grigory Kruzhkov, a connoisseur of English-language poetry and literature. Each fairy tale is accompanied by a poem-poem with a cheerful micro plot. Absolutely "British" illustrations created by artist Irina Gavrilova add a special appeal to the book. Young children will read the book aloud to adults and enjoy it themselves. Older children will not be able to tear themselves away from the fairy tales until they read them all, one by one.
