Ladybird Tales: Chicken Licken




An exciting return to the classic Ladybird retellings with richly detailed illustrations and a world where stepmothers are truly wicked, trolls are hairy and ugly and forests dark and mysterious.

Ladybird has published fairy tales for over forty-five years, bringing the magic of traditional stories to each new generation of children. The Ladybird Tales series is based on the original Ladybird re-tellings, with beautiful pictures of the kind children like best ­- full of richness and detail.

This beautiful hardback edition of Chicken Licken is a perfect first illustrated introduction to this classic fairy tale for young readers from 3+. The tale is sensitively retold, following Chicken Licken and his friends as they go to tell the king that the sky is falling down.
