Description

Folk tales are stories full of adventure, courage, daring, fighting dragons, trolls, and giants, and overcoming challenges.

How many of them have girls as the main heroic characters though?

These twelve folk tales from all over the world have been specially selected as they feature strong, adventurous heroines.

Some are funny, some make you think, and some – like the story of Fearless Mary – keep you on the edge of your seat with scares and surprises.

Meet Louisa Freya, the brave dragon slayer, funny and clever Sigrun, and honest and humble Scarface as well as other heroines from Serbia, Norway, China, Japan, South Africa, and Indonesia.

Amy Scott Robinson's distinctive voice, expertise and experience as a performance storyteller makes this a unique and fascinating collection, aimed at readers aged 7-9 years.

At the end of each story, Amy shares a bit about where the story comes from, how she has retold it, and what the tale makes her think about when she is hearing or telling it, including Bible verses.

These folk tales deserve to be told as often as the more famous and well-known ones.

After all, why should boys defeat all the dragons? Enjoy the adventure!
