The Iron Wolf And Other Stories: Richard Adams

Adams has collected nineteen enchanting folk-tales from almost as many parts of the world - from Europe to China and from Polynesia to the Arctic Circle. Each has a special magic, an aura that is sometimes beautiful and fascinating, sombre and frightening, or exciting and colourful. But what unites all these stories is the essential quality of folk-lore that transcends the boundaries of nations, customs and time. In this collection: The Cat in the Sea; The Giant Eel; Mice in the Corn; The Moddey Dhoo; The Woodpecker; Crab; The Crimson Parrot; The Language of Animals; The Blind Boy and His Dog; Stan Bolovan and the Dragon; The Crow and the Daylight; The Rocks of Korsan; The Iron Wolf; The Nightingale;How Long Will You Live? Back of the Moon; A Hundred Times; The Robin; Prince Meerzat Istvan and the Horse of Dust and Thunder. Colour illustrations by Yvonne Gilbert; black and white drawings by Jennifer Campbell.
