Girls, Goddesses and Giants

Selection of Folk Tales

A selection of brilliant folk tales about heroines from all around the world. In these stories it's girls who save the day through their courage, cunning or kindness - whether they are facing up to wolves, demons, dragons, enemy tribes, or the sun itself!

Handsomen princes need not apply - these girls are doing it for themselves.

With stories from every corner of the world (from Cameroon to Scotland, India, Japan and the Americas) this inclusive anthology of girl power is stunningly illustrated in paper-cut style.
