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 Banbury Cross Series was a collection of 12 volumes of books edited by Grace Rhys and published in London by Dent in the 1890s. Each book is attractively illustrated with full page and partial page pen and ink drawings in a classic Art Nouveau style by leading artists of the era. H. Isabel Adams was chosen to illustrated Little Red Riding Hood and Tom Thumb. Her black and white pen and ink drawings are full of emotion and magnificently complement Rhys' adaptations of these children's favourites. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.

These tales were told by storytellers long ago, from people all over the world who emigrated to Wales. In this book you'll meet the rowdy mermaids of Cardigan Bay, the hidden lands below the sea, an ancient tree with a door into the otherworld, an old woman who makes love potions and mischief, the wise old toad who lives in a bog and knows everything, a clever girl who transforms into a swan, a green man who lives in no one's land, the enchantress who swallows a poet, a herd of fairy cattle who live beneath a lake, a boy who wears a frock to stop a castle being built, and an elephant who may or may not have died in Tregaron. These stories only come alive for a moment when a storiwr tells them. They are about transformation in ourselves and our world, our friendships and hopes, and scary sounds at night. Just ask those Welsh mountains. They have lived longer than we have. They have listened to birdsong and the sound of rivers and sea. They have heard these tales before.

Magnolia Bloomgarden is not excited about spending her summer vacation in Tooth Kingdom working as a fairy for the family business. She couldn't care less about getting wings, learning to fly, or sprinkling magic dust, especially because she has to leave her best friend, Sun, behind. But all of that is about to change when she realizes Sun's family is being pursued by dark fairies who need just one thing to survive: teeth.

Magnolia is worried about what will happen to Sun and her family if she does not warn them that the evil fairies are loose in the mortal world. But before she can caution them that the fairies have potentially found a way to open their portal, Magnolia is led to the Tooth Kingdom by her uncle. There she soon discovers a perfect, happy world overshadowed by the threat of dark fairies who want nothing more than to destroy the peaceful kingdom. As the fairies make their presence known, Magnolia embarks on a dangerous journey to save both her kingdom and Sun's family from their sinister clutches.

In this children's fantasy tale, a tooth fairy-in-training must summon the courage to battle dark forces as a portal slowly opens and frees what everyone in Tooth Kingdom has always feared.

This illustrated edition retains Willy Pogany's original drawings. Master storyteller Padraic Colum's rich, musical voice captures all the magic and majesty of the Norse sagas in his retellings of the adventures of the gods and goddesses who lived in the Northern paradise of Asgard before the dawn of history. Here are the matchless tales of All-Father Odin, who crosses the Rainbow Bridge to walk among men in Midgard and sacrifices his right eye to drink from the Well of Wisdom; of Thor, whose mighty hammer defends Asgard; of Loki, whose mischievous cunning leads him to treachery against the gods; of giants, dragons, dwarfs and Valkyries; and of the terrible last battle that destroyed their world. These ancient stories from Northern Europe, which make up one of the great myth cycles of Western civilization, spring to life in The Children of Odin. The late Padraic Colum was a poet, playwright, founder of the Irish Review and a leader of the Irish Renaissance, but he is perhaps best known today for his outstanding books for children. He was awarded the Regina Medal in 1961 for his "distinguished contribution to children's literature," honoring works like The Children's Homer, The Golden Fleece (a Newbery Honor Book), The Arabian Nights, The King of Ireland's Son and Roofs of Gold.

This book 'Aesop's Fables' presents a select collection of some of Aesop's most entertaining stories with thought-provoking morals along with Robinson's beautifully imaginative and humourous black and white pen and ink illustrations. Contents Include: The Daw in Borrowed Feathers, The Sun and the Wind, The Dog in the Manger, Mercury and the Woodman, The Fox and the Stork, The Ants and the Grasshopper, The Lion and the Mouse, The Crow and the Pitcher, The Fox and the Grapes, The Wolf and the Lamb, and The Fox and the Crow. About the Illustrator: Charles Robinson (1870-1937) was a British illustrator of the Golden Age born into an industrious and well respected family of deeply talented illustrators. His childhood was spent absorbing the family craft and when 25 his first full book was published - Robert Louis Stevenson's Child's Garden of Verses. Both his intricate and ornate pen and ink drawings as well as his rich watercolours display a languidness and elegance that is influenced by the burgeoning Art Nouveau movement. His art is characterised by a certain exuberance and playfulness that perfectly enhance the text they illustrate. About the author: Aesop (c. 620-560BC) is famous for his Fables which are still used as the basis of many children's plays and cartoons and to teach moral lessons today. He was born in Greece and little is known about his life except that he was a slave of Ladmon of Samos who received his freedom. Aesop probably did not personally commit his fables to the page but rather later eminent Greeks such as Socrates recorded them.
