Synopsis

Brer Bunny is both a bully and a thief – so when he spots another bunny stealing from his favourite farm, his first thought is to fight it. But has he met his match with Fox's home-made Tar Bunny?

Abel desperately needs money to care for his mum, so accepts a bet: spend a whole night at the top of an icy mountain without a shirt or fire. Can he survive with only a friend's Distant Fire?

Discover the surprising answers in this collection of two short stories!

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 7+. Each features three beautifully detailed illustrations.

About the Authors

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.
