Synopsis

Through the Forest, where leafy trees rattle and rustle with every breeze, a whole host of fairytale characters are waiting to surprise you. How many will you recognise?

Sir Fulladred knows he is weak, silly, and fearful. So when he learns that he only needs to eat the heart of the tiny Yu Dragon to become strong, clever, and brave, what could possibly go wrong?

Find out in this collection of two short stories full of woodland wackiness!

Chip Colquhoun & Korky Paul's Fables & Fairy Tales: Inspiring stories from around the world, retold to inspire you.

These two short tales are great for reading aloud at bedtime with listeners aged 4+, and are also excellent for new independent readers aged 6+. Each features beautifully detailed illustrations.

About this title

About the Authors

Amy Scott Robinson began storytelling in 2007, and was soon presenting Traditional Tales for the Oxford Reading Tree. She writes for church organisations as well as books like the Gladstone the Gargoyle trilogy and the Adventuring Girls series. She lives with her husband Tiffer and their two children in Suffolk. 

Chip Colquhoun began storytelling professionally in 2007. He has since presented Traditional Tales for Oxford Reading Tree, toured six UK family theatre shows, performed at Glastonbury Festival, represented Roald Dahl on ITV, and set a Guinness World Record with the World Storytelling Café. Oh – and also written many children’s books, and trained hundreds of teachers worldwide to inspire a love of literacy. He lives in Cambridgeshire with his wife Emma and two kittens.

Korky Paul began his career scribbling for an advertising agency in Cape Town. His first illustration job was a book teaching English, then a pop-up called The Crocodile and the Dumper Truck – but it was his work on Winnie the Witch that won the Children’s Book Award in 1987 and made him a much-loved figure in the world of children’s books. He’s since illustrated for Oxford University Press, Penguin, Random House, and others. He lives in Oxford with his wife Susan.

Mario Coelho was born on the Brazilian island of Florianopolis. He worked as an artist and designer in textiles before moving to England in 1985. He’s since won the 2024 Royal Dragonfly Award for Best Picture Book Illustrations, and provided illustrations for the poet John Foster.
