Praise for The Tale Of Tales

A deeply enjoyable and attractive little picture book, excellent for reading aloud, and provides a very promising model for showing children how stories can be recreated

Books for Keeps

An outstanding book . . . A wonderful collection of the world's stories told in reverse

The School Librarian

Beautifully presented . . . This is a lovely book for sharing

Inis

Great fun, great variety and great endorsement of storytelling

Irish Times

There are shades of Kipling and Chaucer in this book as a band of animal travellers take it in turns to tell stories as they travel to hear The Tale of Tales. The tales are perfectly complemented by Peter Bailey's wonderfully varied black and white illustrations
