What is Fairy Tales about?

Enter a world where raindrops argue, kings walk with dogs tied to their legs and a bored herring swims around the globe. In these thirty original fairy tales, Terry Jones mixes magic, adventure and wonderfully absurd ideas with the storytelling traditions of long ago. Meet unusual heroes, foolish rulers, curious creatures and unexpected monsters in a collection of short, funny stories that can be enjoyed independently, shared aloud at bedtime or read by children discovering the joy of imaginative fiction.
