About this book
Andrew Lang’s anthology gathers fairy tales from many traditions for young readers, often sending its characters into perilous quests. In one, a prince frees a fish, a fox, and a wolf, then carries a token from each that can summon its owner in danger. Elsewhere, Petru persists in questioning his father, watching the emperor’s eyes change until he understands that his questions are having an effect. The stories move briskly through direct speech, bold bargains, and sudden turns.
