A Viking warrior who lived hundreds of years ago sets sail with his men on th Golden Dragon to find the land where the sun goes at night.

Three fantastic, fun-filled, dynamic and dramatic stories, to follow on from the story of Jason and the Argonauts and Ali Baba, published in February. These are tales that every aspiring boy-adventurer will want to read, from Robin outwitting the evil sheriff and William Tell's astounding shot that pierced an apple at one hundred yards, to Aladdin's discovery of his very own magic lamp complete with genie. Illustrated throughout with Tony Ross's energetic, bold and brilliant line drawings.

"The question of lions came up, but Charlotte wanted none of it. "No, thank you," she said, firmly; "you'll be chained up till I'm quite close to you, and then you'll be loose, and you'll tear me in pieces. "I "know your lions ""

""No, I won't; I swear I won't," protested Edward. "I'll be quite a new lion this time, -- something you can't even imagine. . . .""

Imagine "The Wind in the Willows" with real children in place of Kenneth Grahame's storybook animals, and you'll get a picture of this book, Grahame's "The Golden Age" (1895). It is a story of children in late Victorian England -- a marvel that views the world in ways that would confound the adults around them. Grahame's elegant writing make "The Golden Age" a joy to read and reread. He had a wonderful knack for presenting the child's view of the world, and this book brings it to full flower.

Originally printed in 1911. This book contains a collection of 56 of Grimm's fairy tales illustrated in colour by the English Illustrator, Charles Folkard. Pook Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in children's literature. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1850s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in high quality, colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.
